Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds and pecans work well)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting)
How to Make Spiced Cookie Sandwiches with Cream Filling
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the creamy filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and continue to beat until fluffy. Add powdered sugar to taste.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of the cream filling on the flat side of half the cookies. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Finally, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the cream filling, pressing gently to adhere. Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your butter is softened for easy mixing.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you prefer thicker cookies.
- Ensure cookies are completely cooled before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
Easy Variations
- Use different spices like ginger or nutmeg for a unique flavor twist.
- Swap the cream cheese filling for a flavored buttercream.
- Experiment with various nuts or add chocolate chips to the filling.
What to Serve With It
- A glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee complements these sandwiches perfectly.
- Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Serve alongside fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast.
