In the Vintage Kitchen: Austrian Cream Cookies
Beat 2 eggs until light.
Blend in 1 c. sugar
and 1 c. cream.
Mix in 3 3/4 c. flour
1 T. baking powder
and 1 t. salt.
Chill for an hour.
Roll out to 3/8 inch thick on floured board, then cut into 2" squares. Use the back of a knife blade to press a tic-tac-toe design onto the top of each cookie.
Grease the baking sheet and bake at 375 for 10-13 minutes.
Frost with a dab of buttercream and garnish with strawberry slices, or a tiny lemon twist and a mint leaf, or a single perfect raspberry . . . .

This is very interesting - no shortening, no butter - the cream instead! (I assume it's heavy cream.) And it sounds so simple!
I look forward to trying these. Thank you for posting it, because I looked high and low for it but came up with nothing even remotely like this.
Thank you. These look yummy. Now if only mine come out as good as Bella's.
Thank you for posting this; I am very anxious to give it a try.
I was thinking of those cookies and how I should come on here to post with the others. "Yes! Please have Bella share her recipe!" Wish so very happily granted! Thank you so much! I only hope my cookies look as lovely as Miss Bella's!
In Christ,

these sound so good!
Thank you for sharing. I am anxious to try these! Big fat hugs to you!
I hope mine turn out as pretty as yours - we have a ladies tea coming up and these sound perfect. At least they look perfect in your picture!
Any cookie recipe with the word "cream" in the title has to be delicious!
Thank you. (o:
It sounds DELISH!
Thanks! I made them for my family last night and they LOVED them. :)
Thank you so much for sharing this! :-)
Well, I just made them tonight - how delightful! And I iced them (way too pink!) and put strawberries and blueberries on them. Even Dolly the cat was tempted! These cookies are unlike any others.
I finally made these! They were delicious! Thanks again for sharing the recipe!
