Matt Lewis developed this recipe to turn the Chocolate-Gingerbread Cookies into a deluxe sandwich ...

  1. 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  2. One 8-ounce container mascarpone cheese, softened
  3. 3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
  4. 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  1. In a bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Beat in the mascarpone cheese until combined. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth. Refrigerate the filling until it is slightly firm, about 2 hours.
Make Ahead The mascarpone filling can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; let stand at room temperature until softened slightly before using.
