Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the lime juice and lime zest. The dough will be slightly soft.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the filling: In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and softened butter until smooth.
Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with heavy cream, beating until smooth and creamy.
Stir in vanilla extract. Add green food coloring a few drops at a time until desired spooky green color is achieved.
Once cookies are completely cool, spread a generous amount of filling onto the bottom of one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
Repeat with remaining cookies. Store in an airtight container.

For an extra spooky touch, you can add a few drops of black food coloring to some of the filling to create a marbled effect.
These cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Ensure cookies are completely cooled before filling to prevent the filling from melting.
