Sugar Cookie Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir together sugar, melted butter, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and almond extract in a bowl. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and candy sprinkles. Stir to combine.
• Scoop dough with a medium-sized spring-hinged scoop and space evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies spread, start to crackle, and appear dry on top, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make ice cream sandwiches, place about 1/4 cup ice cream on the bottom of one cookie, press the top cookie in place.

Steps:

• Lay 12 cookies flat-side up on a work surface. Open the whipped cream cheese frosting and stir briefly. Place a dollop of frosting in the center of each cookie and sandwich with a second cookie. Squeeze the cookie sandwiches together until the frosting spreads to the edges, then immediately roll the edges in colorful sanding sugar. If you like, package 1 or 2 cookie sandwiches in cellophane bags and tie with ribbon.
