Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

How to Make Cream-Filled Cookie Sandwiches

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
7. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the cream filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and fluffy.
8. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie, pressing gently to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easy mixing.
• Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be soft and chewy in the center.
• Let the sandwiches set in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up slightly.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or nuts to the cookie dough for added texture.
• Substitute the cream cheese filling with flavored frosting, such as chocolate or strawberry.
• For a festive touch, add sprinkles to the cream filling or roll the edges of the sandwiches in crushed cookies or nuts.

What to Serve With It

• A glass of cold milk for dipping
• A cup of coffee or tea for a cozy pairing
• Ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience
• Fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast
