  7. On a piece of parchment paper, spread half of the cookie dough into a rectangle shape and sprinkle the filling evenly over the dough.
  8. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape and slice the log into rounds.
Baking

  2. Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
