How to Make Almond Sandwich Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, gently break up 1 cup of prepared cookie dough.
Gradually add 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Stir or knead until well combined and dough forms a ball.
Roll the dough into 180 small balls (approximately ¾ inch in diameter).
Line ungreased baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place dough balls 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Dip the bottom of a glass into granulated sugar. Gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it to about ¼ inch thickness.
Prick the top of each cookie with a fork.
Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely (about 15 minutes).
While cookies are cooling, prepare the filling: In a small bowl, beat filling ingredients (see recipe below) with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy.
Once cookies are completely cool, spread about 1 teaspoon of filling onto the flat side of half of the cookies.
Top each filled cookie with another cookie, flat side down.
Gently press the cookies together.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set before serving.
