cookie sandwich
Yesterday I was told you about the clearance deals I picked up at Target and promised to show you the cookies I made with my 50 cent sugar cookie mix and 90% off peppermint frosting.  I made these cute little sandwich cookies.  They are reminiscent of one of my favorite Christmas cookies, that I didn’t have time to make this year, minty cream wafers.

I mixed up the cookie dough like the directions said and added Red (No-Taste) Icing Color until it was the color I wanted.

The dough was pretty thick so I had to use my hands to knead the dough until the color was even.
 
cookie dough balls on baking sheet
I rolled small balls of dough with my hands and baked per the instructions on the box.

Luckily they came out pretty uniform in size.

After letting them cool, I spread peppermint frosting on one cookie and topped with a second cookie.  I matched them up according to size before frosting them.  Then, I sprinkled the frosting with Shimmer Silver Cupcake Gems from CakeMate.

I have 2 boxes of sugar cookie dough left and I am trying to figure out what to make with them because I need to bring cookies to church on Sunday!  I will try to post my second batch of clearance cookies next week.

    I always love when you make something delicious that was a total bargain! I bought some Betty Crocker cookie mix last year after Christmas for 10 cents a bag, and I did all kinds of stuff with it. It was a fun challenge to see just how far I could take it!

    I’m obsessed with the look of pink cookies right now! I’ve never made cookie sandwhiches but that may need to change soon!

    They don’t even look real Tonia! They are just perfect and a great way to make a plain packet mix into something a little special (or grand in your case). Just beautiful!Anne xx
