Add the salt, baking soda, baking powder and flour and mix together. Heat oven to 350F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper (or grease the pans lightly).  Spoon on batter in 2″ rounds. Place in the oven and bake for about 14 minutes.  When they turn a bit brown and crack a little, they’re done! Let them cool completely before filling!!! Using a knife or pastry bag and swirl on some filling.  Top with another cookie. If the filling seems a little gooey, place pies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to stiffen the filling.
