Sweet Sprinkle Sandwiches

I love a soft sugar cookie as much as the next person but they are a bit boring as far as cookies go. Add in some festive sprinkles and frosting and you have elevated a “boring” cookie into something extraordinary 😀

These cookies are so versatile because you can change out the sprinkles to fit any occasion! I will definitely be making these during my Christmas cookie bake-a-thon.

Not only are they perfect for any occasion, they are so delicious. I made a batch for a friend who said she ate 3 in one sitting!! (This is your warning haha!)

Here is the recipe:

Prep: 15 minutes      Cook: 10 minutes    Makes: 12 cookie sandwiches

1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon table salt
