Cream Cheese Wafers Recipes

CREAM WAFERS

Steps:

• Prepare the Wafers: In the bowl of your stand mixer combine the butter, cream, and flour on low speed until the dough comes together.
• Chill the dough for 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough to 1/8- inch thick. Using a small (1.25- inch) round cookie or pastry cutter cut the dough out and place on the prepared baking sheet. Prick with a fork 3 or 4 times.
• Bake for 8-9 minutes, until lightly golden on the bottoms.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Prepare the Filling: In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter, powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Divide the filling as desired and mix in a drop of food coloring to achieve the color(s) desired.
• Fill a pastry bag(s) or zip-top bag with the corner cut off with the filling. Squeeze a small amount of the filling onto the bottom of half the cookies. Alternately, you could use an offset spatula to spread the filling. Top the filling with the remaining cookies and roll in sprinkles if desired.

CRISPY CHEESE WAFERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Mix together cheese, butter, flour, red pepper, Worcestershire and salt in a large bowl until mixture forms a ball that lightly sticks together and pulls in all the flour. (Hands might work best for this).
• Gently fold cereal into dough.
• Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Place balls about 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
• Bake 15 minutes or until firm. Cool on pan on wire rack. Store in airtight container up to 1 week.

CHEESE WAFERS

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl, blend together butter or margarine and flour. Mix in the Cheddar cheese, salt, red pepper, hot pepper sauce, and pecans. Form the dough into a roll, wrap in parchment paper, and refrigerate over night.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Slice dough into very thin wafers. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crisp.

MINI CHEESECAKES WITH VANILLA WAFERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line miniature muffin tins (tassie pans) with miniature paper liners.
• Crush the vanilla wafers and place 1/2 tablespoon of the crushed vanilla wafers into the paper lined miniature muffin tins.
• Cream together with an electric mixer the cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Fill each miniature muffin liner with this mixture, almost to the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Cool and then top with a teaspoonful of cherry (or any other flavor) pie filling.

CREAM WAFERS

Steps:

• Mix flour and 1 cup of butter or margarine thoroughly. Stir in whipping cream and mix well. Chill 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Roll dough 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured board. Cut into 1 1/2 inch rounds. Transfer to waxed paper heavily sprinkled with sugar, turning to coat both sides. Place on un- greased baking sheet. Prick in 4 places with fork. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until slightly puffed. Put two cooled cookies together with filling.
• To Make Filling: Blend 1/4 cup soft butter, 3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tsp. vanilla. If desired, tint with food coloring.

CHEESE WAFERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, cayenne, and salt in a large shallow bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Add the cheese and rub into the flour-butter mixture gently with your fingertips until a small bit of dough, when pinched together, will hold its shape. Roll into 3/4-inch balls, place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets, then flatten into rounds 1/4-inch thick by pressing with a flat-bottomed glass that has been dipped into flour. (You'll have to keep dipping the glass into flour to keep the dough from sticking to it.) Bake uncovered 10 to 12 minutes until pale tan. Transfer the wafers at once to wire racks to cool, then store airtight.

CREAM WAFERS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix flour, 1 cup butter and the whipping cream with spoon. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Roll one-third of dough at a time 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured surface. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to roll.) Cut into desired shapes with 1 1/2-inch cookie cutters. Generously cover large piece of waxed paper with granulated sugar. Transfer cutouts to waxed paper, using pancake turner. Turn each cutout to coat both sides. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Prick each cutout with fork about 4 times.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or just until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, mix all Creamy Filling ingredients until smooth. Add a few drops water if necessary. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon filling between bottoms of pairs of cookies.
