Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

- Fill: Once cooled, fill each cookie with cream cheese frosting or vanilla buttercream.
- Serve or store: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can substitute the filling with caramel, Nutella, or jam for variety.
