Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat sugar and butter until combined. Beat in egg, then molasses, until smooth. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture until a dough forms.
- Drop rounded measuring teaspoonfuls of dough onto 2 ungreased (or parchment-lined) baking sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake until centers are dry to the touch, 12 to 15 minutes; rotate pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through. Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Make Creamy Molasses Filling: Whisk butter with molasses until smooth. Gradually whisk in confectioners' sugar; whisk until smooth and spreadable. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
- Spread a rounded measuring teaspoonful of Creamy Molasses Filling on the flat side of a cookie; place another cookie on top, and gently press. Repeat until all cookies are filled. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day, or refrigerate up to 3 days (cookies may soften during refrigeration).
