Apple cider caramel cream filling

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon dough per cookie on baking sheet, leaving 2 inches space in between for a total of 30 cookies. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown but still slightly gooey in the center. Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, making apple cider caramel cream filling. Cream together cream cheese and butter until well combined. Add vanilla, powdered sugar, and apple cider caramel, mixing until well combined. Transfer filling into a piping bag.
- Flip half of the cookies over and pipe filling on top. Stack with remaining cookies and sandwich together. Serve.
Notes
You can make the apple cider caramel cream filling the day before. Bring it to room temperature before spreading it on the cookies.
