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!!
Looove sandwich cookies!!! So cute! 😀
So when I show up on your doorstep someday, it’s because I have decided to move in with you so I be your official taste tester. Sound good? 😉
My dream cookie sandwich would have a filling of chocolate mouse and fresh raspberries or vanilla ice cream, toasted coconut, and caramel! 😀 (Or Emma’s idea of raw cookie dough!)
<3 <3
*so I can be
*chocolate mousse NOT chocolate mouse, lol
As long as you don’t show up empty-handed. You’d better come equipped with chocolate ;).
Although I am a Spurs fan I was so glad to see a fellow Texas team winning! (but of course I didn’t watch the game… I don’t really keep up with a ton of sports)
Those cookies look YUM!
Haha I rooted for the Spurs a few years back, when they won! 😉
Now it’s the opposite!
AAAAAH I am SO doing this!!! Best idea EVER Katie!! PB and J…or your vanilla ice cream…OR make an EXTRA batch of your cookies and put raw cookie dough in the middle of the cookies!! I think I need to lie down now 😛
I was thinking, what about jelly in between pb cookies?!
DID YOU SEE CLIF BAR’S TWEET?!
No lol what’s up?
I like the idea of cookie dough sandwiched in between two cookies — I think I saw that on Oh She Glows and it sounded/looked so good!
The only time I ever really like cookie sandwiches is when there’s ice cream in the middle. Otherwise, I usually think any sort of filling (even peanut butter fillings, *gasp*) overpower the cookie itself. Ice cream…you can’t really ever go wrong with, as far as I’m concerned. The blue frosting looks pretty though! That counts for something! (And most people like extra sweetness. I’m more like you. I would go for the unadorned cookies.)
I think carrot cake cookies with “cream cheese” icing would be to DIE for!
Double chocolate cookies with hazelnut butter frosting and completely coated in either dark chocolate or vegan white chocolate and chopped hazelnuts would be my ultimate sandwich cookie. But your cookies look great, too.
I was trying to figure out what my ultimate sandwich cookie would be, and I think you nailed it right on the head. I guess Hannah’s have similar tastebuds 😉
that cookie sandwich looks soo yummy!! My ideal cookie sandwich would have a dark chocolate cream with pretzel pieces in the middle. LOOOOVE the combo of salty and sweet!!!
