With the mixer on low, add the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, and vanilla. Then add the food coloring. If the filling seems too thick, add more heavy cream until desired consistency is achieved.

Tips for Making Perfect Crème Wafer Cookies:

- Use high-quality ingredients, especially butter and chocolate. This will ensure that your cookies have the best possible flavor and texture. - Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cookies come together more easily and will also prevent them from spreading too much in the oven. - Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and will also prevent them from spreading too much. - Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly. - Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting and seeping out of the cookies.

Conclusion:

Crème wafer cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of fillings, such as chocolate, vanilla, or fruit. With a little planning and effort, you can make crème wafer cookies that are sure to impress your family and friends.
