Lemon Ginger Sandwich Cookies

For the cookies:
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in molasses and egg.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Carefully add to butter mixture until fully combined. Cover and chill for about 3 hours.

Preheat oven 350ºF. Roll cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar before placing on prepared baking sheets. Flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar until cookies are 1 1/2 in thick. Bake 8-10 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool.

For the filling:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and beat until very light and very creamy. Spread on bottoms of all of the cookies before sandwiching two together. Refrigerate a few minutes to let cookies set.
