Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop 1 tablespoon dough per cookie on baking sheet, leaving 2 inches space in between for a total of 30 cookies. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown but still slightly gooey in the center. Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking sheet.

Flip half of the cookies over and pipe filling on top. Stack with remaining cookies and sandwich together. Serve.

You can make the apple cider caramel cream filling the day before. Bring it to room temperature before spreading it on the cookies.
