Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs

- 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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- 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.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
