Viennese Shortbread Cookies

People love these. They are so good.

Ingredients:

1 c. butter
2 c. flour
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add dry ingredients.

Use medium star design in cookie press. Press onto ungreased cookie
sheets in long strips. You might need to straighten the lines with
your hands. Bake at 375 degrees, about 7 minutes until lightly
browned. I let them cool on the cookie sheets, as they are very
fragile. When cooled cut into size cookie you want and put filling
between 2 cookies. They are not fragile after they are cooled.

Filling:

Mix 2/3 c. powdered sugar with 2 T. soft butter and 1 tsp. powdered
instant coffee, then dissolve in 1 tsp. boiling water. If too thick
add water, if too thin add powdered sugar.
