Cookie Sandwiches

What are your favorite cookie sandwiches? I remember my first sandwich cookies. I was in elementary school. My dad loved the packages of sandwich cookies - chocolate, lemon, or vanilla, which I think were his favorite. We almost always had them for lunch, along with a bologna or peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a bag of chips, and a banana or an apple.

I always saved my cookies for last because they were my favorite. I'd twist the two cookies a part and eat the half that didn't have the cream. Then I'd twist a second cookie apart and do the same. Then I'd put the two cream layers together to make a double filled cookie. Genius! I know, right, lol.

I pretty sure I invented double stuffed cookies before they were even a thing! (Well at least I think I did anyway.) 

Homemade Cookie Sandwiches

Have you ever tried to make homemade sandwich cookies? Sweet little cookies with cream filling or frosting in between. Yum! Sometimes when I make chocolate chip cookies I make them into a sandwich.

I take two slightly cooled cookies. Spread peanut butter on the bottom half of one of them and top with the other cookie. These are sooo good. I can only eat one or two of these sandwich cookies, because they're so rich and delicious. I dare you to try it out!

Best Cookies for DIY Cookie Sandwiches

So what's the best type of cookie for making sandwich cookies you ask? Well they need to be slightly crunchy. Not too crunchy because when you bite into a really crunchy cookie with filling in the middle, the filling squishes out the sides, leaving you with not enough filling for the rest of the cookie. So slightly crunchy.

They can be any size, however, a medium size is best. Not too small and not too big. A two or three bite cookie is best. 

And what kind of cookie makes the best cookie sandwich? Well, I could say that any cookie will do, however, you will need to take into consideration the two tips I mentioned above - slightly crunchy, so maybe not a ginger snap. 

Some chocolate chip cookies aren't too crunchy, so try one out to see how it works. You can always make your own, of course. Find a recipe that bakes up with a slight crunch and then make them the right size and you're good to go.

Well, not yet. You need to decide what kind of filling you will spread in between. There are so many options. Chocolate ganache, Nutella, peanut butter, or frosting. So many. I'll share a list of cookie and filling ideas shortly.

I also found a great Pampered Chef recipe for Peppermint Fudge Sandwich Cookies. Unfortunately, the video is no longer available, however, if I do find it again, I will update this page. click the link to find the recipe (minus the video).

Alternately, you can usually find most of the classic style cookies at any store in the cookie aisle. And you could probably find most of the fillings as well or get a little creative with whatever you have on hand or can find at the store.

Any of these would be a fun baking activity to do with your children or grandchildren. They would also be perfect for entertaining, potlucks, or any other party or get-together.
