How to Make Apple Cream Pennies
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into marble-sized balls.
- Place balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1/2 cup spiced apple butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread about 1 teaspoon of the apple cream filling onto the bottom half of each cookie.
- Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
- Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
