Before we get started, let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll need:

Ingredient	Quantity
Unsalted butter	1 cup (2 sticks), softened
Granulated sugar	1/2 cup
Vanilla extract	1 teaspoon
Flour	2 cups
Salt	1/4 teaspoon
Butter, for greasing	As needed
For the filling:
Unsalted butter	1/2 cup, softened
Powdered sugar	1 cup
Vanilla extract	1 teaspoon
Condensed milk	1/2 cup

Instructions

Now that you have all the ingredients ready, let’s move on to the instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350掳F (175掳C) and grease a baking sheet with butter.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and condensed milk until smooth.
Remove one dough half from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough and place them on the greased baking sheet.
Spoon a generous amount of the filling onto the center of each circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Place the remaining dough half on the counter and roll it out to the same thickness as the first half.
Using the same cookie cutter, cut out more circles from the dough and place them over the filled circles, pressing the edges together to seal.
Using a fork, crimp the edges of the cookies to ensure they stay sealed during baking.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
