Ingredients for Mini Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches

The Cookies

A bag of store-bought mini chocolate chip cookies.

The Filling

A container of vanilla frosting.

Flip half of the cookies upside down on a tray.

Step 2: Add the frosting

Pipe or spoon a small swirl of frosting onto each flipped cookie.

Step 3: Sandwich

Step 4: Chill (optional)

Chill for 5 to 10 minutes if you want the frosting to firm up.

Carly’s Expert Tips

No piping bag? Use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
Don’t overfill. A small swirl keeps them neat and easy to eat.
Roll the edges in sprinkles for a festive look.
Chill before serving on warm days so the frosting holds.

Make It Your Own

Chocolate frosting: Use chocolate frosting for double chocolate.
Holiday sprinkles: Roll the edges in seasonal sprinkles.
Cookie butter: Use cookie butter or Nutella instead of frosting.
