Dump all cookie dough ingredients into a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and shape into discs. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour

In a bowl, mix all the filling ingredients together until smooth, thick, and creamy

In another bowl make the egg wash by whisking the egg and water together until combined

Preheat Oven to 300 Degrees Fahrenheit

After time has elapsed, removed the dough out of the fridge working with one disc at a time.

On a floured surface, place the dough into the center and with the help of a rolling pin, shape the dough into a rectangle making sure the thickness is as evenly as possible.

Spoon 1/3 of the filling over the dough leaving a very small border

Roll dough tightly into a log and cut into 1-inch pieces

Place cookies on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet

Brush the surface of the cookies with the egg wash. Sprinkle with a little sugar if desired

Repeat with the process with the other 2 dough disks

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top

Remove from oven and place on a cookie rack to cool

Enjoy!
