Place logs on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Using the tines of a fork, make a criss-cross pattern in your dough logs, then pinch the middle of the cookie to make a peanut shape.
Bake 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned on the edges, but still soft in center.
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Place a second cookie onto the top of the filling to create a sandwich.
