Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add one room-temperature egg and vanilla extract; mix on low speed for about 1 minute until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Fold dry ingredients into the wet mix until just incorporated.
  5. Scoop 1½ tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden on the edges and set in the center.
  7. Cool cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Beat together the softened cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  9. Assemble cookies by piping or spooning 1-2 tablespoons of filling between two cookies.
  10. Refrigerate assembled cookies for at least 15-30 minutes before serving.
