Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is just combined.
Baking
- Drop tablespoon-sized dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Filling and Assembly
- While cookies cool, whip the cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Once cookies are cool, spread the cream cheese filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie.
- Repeat until all cookies are filled, and enjoy!
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze wrapped individually for up to three months. For thicker cookies, chill the dough before baking.
