Ingredients:

• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• 1 cup cream cheese
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cream Sugar and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the white sugar, brown sugar, and butter until smooth and creamy.

3. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the creamed mixture, stirring until well combined.

5. Optional Pecans: If desired, mix in 1 cup of chopped pecans for an added crunch and nutty flavor.

6. Form Cookies: Drop the cookie dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.

7. Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

8. Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool completely on wire racks.

9. Prepare Filling: While the cookies are cooling, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth and creamy. Optionally, fold in 1 cup of chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.

10. Assemble Sandwich Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a dollop of cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich.

11. Serve: Arrange the Cream Cheese Cookies on a serving plate and enjoy the creamy goodness with your loved ones.
