I am looking for a cookie reciepe from the late 40's to early 50's?

Question

When I was young we made a Cookie called Starlite Mint surprise. You used a Rockford mint wafer ( they don't make these any more) and wrapped dough around them, placed them on the cookie sheet and topped with a Pecan. I would love to find the dough recipe for this as I can substitute a different wafer I have found.  I think they where baked at 325 but really don't remember. They where such a good cookie, but have lost the recipe for them. I would love to have this child hood memory back.

I make these cookies every year for christmas

1/2 lb butter  (2 cubes)
1 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda

Mix butter and powdered sugar, until smooth. Add egg & vanilla. Sift flour, tartar & soda and add to butter mixture. I usually refrigerate over night. (easier to roll out) I have a round cookie cutter that I cut out round "disks". I put a mint wafer (Ghuredelli Chocolate) between 2 round dough pieces and bake at 375.
