Ingredients
- 1 cup of butter, softened
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- Red and green food coloring
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Divide the dough in half. Add red food coloring to one half and green food coloring to the other half. Mix each dough until the color is evenly distributed.
- Wrap each colored dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out each dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use Christmas-themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes from each dough.
- Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are firm. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
How to Prepare
To prepare the filling, combine the powdered sugar and milk in a bowl. Mix until smooth. If desired, add a few drops of red or green food coloring to create festive colors. Spread the filling onto the bottom side of one cookie and sandwich another cookie on top. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
And voila! Your Christmas Sandwich Creme Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! These delightful treats are perfect for holiday parties, cookie swaps, or enjoying with a cup of hot cocoa by the fireplace.
