Chill Dough:
Step 5

- Chill: Cover dough and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or up to 2 days). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake Cookies:
Step 6

- Bake: Scoop dough into 1 Tablespoon-size balls, about 20 grams each (I use a 1-inch cookie scoop). Place on prepared baking sheets 2-inches apart. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
Prepare Cream Filling:
Step 7

- Cream filling: Mix butter with electric mixers until smooth. Add powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons cream or milk, vanilla and mix for 2 minutes. Add a little more milk, if it's too thick. Mix for 2 more minutes until very light and creamy.
Assemble Cookies:
