How to Make Apple Cream Pennies

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll dough into marble-sized balls.
  7. Place balls onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving 1 inch between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake.
  9. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. 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.
  11. Once cookies are completely cool, spread about 1 teaspoon of the apple cream filling onto the bottom half of each cookie.
  12. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
  13. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
