Eggnog Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients:
Cookies:
1 C butter softened
1 1/4 C sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 C sour cream
2 1/2 C AP flour
1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground ginger
Filling:
1/2 c butter, softened
1/4 C shortening
2 1/2 C powdered sugar
2 tbs bourbon
Process:
Preheat oven to 350. (I had to boost my oven temp to 375 to make them brown on the bottom)
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and beat until blended. Combine flour and salt in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mix until well blended.
Combine sugar, nutmeg, and ginger in a small bowl. Form dough into small balls, dip top into sugar mixture, place on parchment lined baking sheet and flatten slightly.
Bake 12 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
Beat butter and shortening until well blended. Add powdered sugar and bourbon; beat until blended. Spread on flat side of a cookie and top with another cookie.
Camilla: in Roman mythology, legendary Volscian maiden who became a warrior and was a favourite of the goddess Diana. According to the Roman poet Virgil (Aeneid, Books VII and XI), her father, Metabus, was fleeing from his enemies with the infant Camilla when he encountered the Amisenus (Amazenus) River. He fastened the child to a javelin, dedicated her to Diana, and hurled her across the river. He then swam to the opposite bank, where he rejoined Camilla.
