1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut butter into flour in a medium mixing bowl till pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cream over part of mixture. Gently toss with a fork and push to side of bowl. Repeat till all is moistened. Form into a ball.
2. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface till slightly less than 1/8 inch thick. Cut into rounds with a scalloped 1 3/4-inch round cookie cutter. Place cutouts 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. With a fork, prick four parallel rows in each cutout. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or till edges just begin to brown. Transfer to wire racks and cool.
3. Spread a scant 1 teaspoon Powdered Sugar Frosting on the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, flat sides down. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes 20 sandwich cookies.
