Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Shape the dough into oval cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes until slightly puffed and golden around the edges. Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the filling, combine 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 2/3 cup powdered sugar, 3 – 4 tablespoons heavy cream, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in the stand mixer until smooth.
- Pipe the filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
