Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for seven to nine minutes or until slightly puffy. Cool on racks.

Ingredients for the filling:

1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Cream butter and then add the sugar and vanilla until well mixed. Put the filling on one flat side of cookie, and top with another flat side of a cookie.
