4. In a small bowl, combine buttermilk, water, vanilla, and melted butter. Pour into dry ingredients, and mix together until well combined.

6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, and remove from oven.Let cool on baking sheets.
7. While cookies are baking, combine shortening, Swerve Confectioners, vanilla, and salt in a stand mixer, and mix for around 10 minutes on medium-high speed.
8. To make pies, take two cookies, with icing bag and round tip, place a TBS of cream filling on one cookie, and then place the other cookie on top, squeezing until cream can be seen on edges of cookie. Complete process for other cookies. 

Note: If you don’t have Swerve Sweets Chocolate Chip Cookie mix, you can use our gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe, and substitute buttermilk in place of milk to the recipe, and add the cinnamon and nutmeg spices.
