Flatten each ball into a disk and wrap each one separately in plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days When ready to make cookies, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Carefully roll dough out, one disk at a time, to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the cookies and place them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Continue to gather the scraps and re-roll and cut out more cookies until all the dough has been used, but if the dough gets too soft, place it in the freezer for about 5 minutes.

Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of creme filling on the bottom of the plain cookies, then top with a raspberry cookie, making a sandwich.
