Transfer the cookie dough to a large piece of plastic wrap. Press the dough down and shape into a disk. Wrap the dough and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until it firms up. You can also place the dough in the freezer for 30 minutes to make it quicker. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Take the dough out of the fridge, unwrap, and place on a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough out to a 1/4 inch thick. Use a lightly floured, 2 inch round cookie cutter to cut out your cookie shapes. Use a smaller cookie cutter (about 3/4 inch) to cut holes in the center of half of your cookies for the sandwich tops.
- Arrange the cut cookies on your baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of distance between each cookie. ** (see notes) Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the remaining dough. Bake your cookies in the center of your preheated 350°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until just slightly golden around the edges.
