Add ⅓ of the flour mixture into the batter and mix on low speed until just combined.Add ½ of the buttermilk and mix fully.Add ½ of the remaining flour mix, then remaining buttermilk, and mix until incorporated.Add the rest of the flour mixture and mix in by hand until flour is no longer visible.
1 cup buttermilk
Spoon in 2 tablespoons onto baking sheets, leaving plenty of room between them as they will spread.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Press your finger gently into the top of one of the cakes. If it springs back then it is done. If it remains indented, continue cooking.Once baked, remove from oven and cool completely.If you have remaining batter, allow the first batch to cool for 5 minutes, then slide them off of the pan and add a new parchment sheet to cook the remaining cakes.

Fill a pastry bag with the filling, using an open tip. Pipe filling over the flat surface of half of the cookies. Match cookies according to size and place the second cookie over the top.
