Form the dough into balls about 3/4-inch in diameter and press flat 1/2-inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the cookies are crunchy.  3 Let the cookies cool on the sheets. As the cookies cool, combine the filling ingredients well with an electric mixer. With your hands form the filling into balls about 1/2 to 3/4-inch in diameter. Place a filling ball in the center of the flat side of a cooled cookie and press with another cookie, flat side down, until the filling spreads to the edge.
