Way yummier than a whoopie pie!
Love and Basketball
Last Sunday, a local basketball team won their game. No big deal? Happens every day? True. But in this case, the team was the Dallas Mavericks, and the win just so happened to make them NBA champions.
Normally, I don’t follow basketball. (Hockey is my sport!) However, when it’s your city’s team in the finals, you can’t not get excited. It also offers a good excuse to throw a party. And my friends always jump at the chance for a party.
For our “Mavs-watching” party, I made these cookies.
As usual, they were gone almost before I put them down. Seriously, these cookies do not taste healthy. (I know, I say that about a lot of my recipes… but that’s only because it’s true!)
Above, my Guilt-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I left most of the cookies plain. But as I was packing them up, I just couldn’t resist having a little fun. And everyone knows that, in the language of food, the word for fun is frosting. (You didn’t know? Well now you do!)
Chocolate-Chip Sandwiches!
All it took was food coloring and this surprisingly-vegan frosting.
Okay, so the cookies weren’t really healthy anymore. Eh, but who needs health when you have frosting? (And, as earlier stated, most of the cookies were left unadorned. These few were just for fun!)
Cookie Sandwich Ideas
(For your gastronomical pleasure)
- peanut butter
- vegan ice cream
- my Chocolate-Fudge Frosting
Or maybe even marshmallow fluff (Smuckers is vegan) and chocolate chips? Who needs s’mores when you can have cookies? Cookies > graham crackers, yes?
Question of the Day:
What would be in your ultimate cookie sandwich?
Pumpkin? Peanut Butter and Jelly? I just got a new idea that involves bananas. Stay tuned!!
Mmm… those look delicious! My favourite, hands down, are ice cream sandwiches (chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream)!!
At least your home team won. Our ‘local-ish’ (as in, one provice over) hockey team didn’t win the Stanley Cup and there was rioting in the streets of Vancouver. It was disgraceful and awful. I’m so happy your team won and you could celebrate with style (and happy tummies).
I was rooting for them 🙁
But I guess it was all for the best… their fans didn’t deserve a winning team. I’m still hoping to see a Canadian team win soon, though!
Oh, right now I have like a million ideas of cookie sandwiches and I can’t pick any of them for the ultimate cookie sandwich. I’m thinking of caramel cookies with coffee cream, chocolate cookies with banana cream, banana cookies with peanut butter, vanilla cookies with lemon cream, walnut cookies with rose hip marmalade, coconut cookies with chocolate cream… I can go on like this forever but you get the idea – I loooove cookie sandwiches 🙂 .
A fun breakfast idea would be healthy oatmeal cookies stuffed with peanut butter frosting! Or the classic vanilla ice cream is always a favorite of mine. Those Big-E ice cream sandwiches are seriously the best.
I love the blue filling! Cookie Monster would love it as well, I bet 😉
I want a cookie sandwich filled with caramel, chocolate… a turtle cookie sandwich?
my ultimate cookie sandwich: oatmeal cookies w/ an apple filling! like a remix of apple pie! 🙂
those look amazing. These would make great summer icecream sanwiches
Filled with Matcha Milk-based ganache with oats + chocolate ganache (YES! Doubly-filled!) Delicious…
I LOVe hte MAvs!! I have a SIGNED jersey form Dirk in my ROOM!! AHH.. i used to be SUCH the little baller!
girl LOVIN these! i so wish I were there when u made these1!!
Yum!
I’m not a hockey fan (sorry!), but I grew up in Boston, so I’m pretty psyched for the Bruins.
And so glad the Mavs won! They deserve it!!!!!
Carrot cookie sandwich with a cream “cheese” icing filling? Maybe you could make walnut cookies and incorporate the carrots into the icing? The orange would look cool!
I made your Blondies last night – OMG they are incredible! I cannot stop eating them. 🙂
