11. Roll out cookie dough between two sheets of parchment paper to 1/4-inch thickness.
12. Spread filling mixture over cookie dough in a thin layer.
13. Roll cookie dough from end to end, forming a long roll.
14. Slice cookie dough into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
15. Place cookies on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
