Custard Cream

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Pinch of salt

2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons warm water

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons honey (for cream)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cloves, and salt until smooth.

Gradually add the flour, mixing until combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts, pistachios, and honey.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles.

Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

While the cookies are baking, make the cream filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, honey, and vanilla extract until it starts to thicken. Gradually fold in the crushed graham crackers.

Once the cookies are fully baked and cooled, spoon a dollop of the cream filling onto one cookie and top with another to make a sandwich.
