Week nine victory Monday treats – chocolate football sandwich cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

Chiefs- Bills, Mahomes-Allen round 10!   Stressful as always, josh played great and Mahomes worked his impossible magic, as usual.  I stood the last 5 minutes of the game and am pretty sure I did not breathe.   Anyways, to celebrate i made football theme chocolate cutout cookie sandwiches – a football, a helmet and a jersey.  And i used a vanilla buttercream for the filling.

Remember to scoop your flour and cocoa from their containers into your measuring  up so you get the correct amount. Also, preheat your oven to 350 before baking.

  • Cookie ingredients
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.  In a bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Add egg and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.   Sprinkle some flour on a clean, flat surface.  Roll dough to desired thickness and cut (i prefer mine on the thick side).   Place on prepared cookie sheet.  They don’t spread a ton, but don’t crowd them on the sheet.  Bake 9 to 11 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.

  • Filling ingredients
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Milk

In a bowl, combine butter and vanilla. Mix in powdered sugar.  Add milk, a tbs at a time, until you get the consistency you want.   Place a spoonfuls between two cookies. 

Store in covered container.

Go Bills!

I could not decide between making brownies or chocolate chip cookies, so I made both –  brookies!  And I topped them with melted milk chocolate! These were not too hard to bake… just took a little more time because I made two doughs.
