Sugar cookie sandwiches

I needed a part 2 for my treats to bring to work today, so I went with sugar cookie sandwiches.   I meant to color the frosting blue but accidentally grabbed the green tube.  Not that it matters!

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups flour (scooped from flour bag into measuring cup so you get the right amount)
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.    In a bowl, cream butter and sugar.   Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in flour and baking powder.  Scoop out 2 tbs dough and roll into a ball.  Stagger onto prepared sheets.  These spread out a little.  Slightly flatten each.  Bake 10 minutes.   Tops will be a little underbaked.   It is ok.  Let them cool 10 minutes and then pop them in a Tupperware container and put in fridge to cool completely.  

  • Frosting ingredients
  • 1/4 cup butter, softene#
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 to 2 tbs milk

In a bowl, combine butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.  Add milk.  Add more powdered sugar, if needed to get the consistency you want.  Frost between 2 cookies.  I cut the sandwiches in half.  Store in fridge for a few hours. Store in covered container.
