These sugar cookies are soft, buttery, do not spread in the oven, and are extremely easy to handle. We also have icing that is smooth, simple to apply, and is delicious.

It has a moist vanilla cake, fluffy cream filling (no eggs), and a rich chocolate ganache on top. The filling on this cake is different than the traditional Boston cream pie because it is not made with eggs. Instead, we use vanilla pudding mix, heavy cream, and cool whip. So fast and oh so good!
