Preparation

  1. Serving size:
    0.82 oz (calculated)
    Notes: 1 cookie sandwich with a diameter of 1 9/16 in (4 cm) and a height of 11/16 in (1.75 cm)
  2. Temperature: 356 °F

    Making the cookies

  1. Cream the softened butter with the xylitol.
  2. Add the eggs and salt and mix until well combined.
  3. Now add the dry ingredients and mix briefly.
  4. Knead to a dough until it comes together and is slightly flexible.
  5. Roll out the dough between two layers of cling film to a thickness of about 1/5 in (5 mm).
  6. Cut out circles and put on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for about 12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges start to darken.
  8. Let cool completely.
  9. Filling the cookies

  10. Scrape out the vanilla pulp.
  11. If you cannot get powdered xylitol, blend granulated xylitol in a food processor.
  12. Mix the cream cheese with the softened butter, powdered xylitol and vanilla pulp.
  13. You can of course add more xylitol, if you prefer a sweeter filling.
  14. Using a teaspoon measure, add a dollop of filling in the center of half of the cookies.
  15. Top each cookie with filling with another cookie and press together until the filling reaches the edges.
