• Cream together the butter and sugars in the bowl of a mixer
• Add the vanilla and egg, mix until light and fluffy (approx 3-5 minutes)
• Slowly add in the flour, salt, baking soda, and spices.
• Fold in chocolate chunks.
• Preheat your air fryer to 350ºF. Line the air fryer basket with some parchment paper.
• Using a cookie scoop, drop scoops of dough into the parchment, then flatten each cookie (these cookies don’t spread too much, so shaping then is essential)
• If topping with the flake salt, sprinkle the tops of the flattened cookie dough now.
• Bake for about 5 minutes. Remove the cookies from the air fryer and let cool completely. Repeat withthe remaining dough.
• Set aside for assembly when cooled.

Frosting Instructions:

• Whip together the softened butter, softened cream cheese, and shortening until combined.
• Adding in 1 cup of the powdered sugar, slowly mix until all sugar is combined. Scrape downthe sides/bottom of the bowl from time to time.
• Add in the vanilla and whip the frosting on a medium-high speed for approx. 5 minutes.
•  Once whipped, scoop the frosting into a piping bag (or zip lock bag and cut a corner). Set it aside.

To Assemble:

• Take two similarly sized/shaped cookies, and on the bottom side of one of the pipe a nice thick layerof the frosting
• Take the other cookie and place it on top of the frosting to create a sandwich.
•  Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all cookies have been made into sandwiches.
• Serve immediately or store in an airtight container
