PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease cookie sheets; set aside. Chop 8 candy wafers to measure about 1/3 cup. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in medium bowl.
Beat butter and sugars in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until well blended. Add flour mixture; beat just until blended. Stir in chopped candy wafers.

Bake about 8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
For filling, place remaining candy wafers in medium microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 30 seconds; stir. Microwave at additional 30-second intervals until candy is melted and smooth. Beat cream cheese in medium bowl until fluffy. Add melted candy; beat until well blended.
Spread small amount of filling on bottom of 1 cookie; top with second cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling. Drizzle sandwiches with melted chocolate and/or tinted melted white chocolate, if desired. Let stand until set.
