Snickerdoodle Sandwich Recipes

SNICKERDOODLE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Shape cookie dough into 3/4- to 1-inch balls; roll balls in cinnamon-sugar to coat. Place balls 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes or just until edges are firm. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool. Meanwhile, for filling:
• In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, honey, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Beat with a wire whisk until smooth. If desired, stir in raisins.
• Spread filling generously on the bottoms of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies, flat sides down, pressing lightly together. Makes about 24 sandwich cookies.

SALTED CARAMEL SNICKERDOODLE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the butter, brown sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla and egg until just combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again, reduce the speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated, about 1 minute. The dough will hold together and be loose and sticky.
• Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, about 1 heaping tablespoon each. Using your hands, roll each portion into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Roll the dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
• Bake until the cookies are set and the edges are slightly golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, divide the softened ice cream between 2 pint-size paper soup-to-go containers (which should be about the same diameter as the cookies), then freeze.
• When ready to assemble the ice cream sandwiches, place the pecans on a small, flat dish. Using a serrated knife, cut 1-inch rounds of ice cream--straight through the containers--to make big beautiful circles of ice cream to fill the sandwiches. Add an ice cream round to the bottom of one of the cookies and then cover with a right-side up cookie, pressing down to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and ice cream rounds. Roll the sandwiches on end in the pecans, using your hands if necessary to help the nuts adhere to the exposed ice cream edge. Serve immediately or freeze, covered, for up to 3 days.

SNICKERDOODLE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Prepare a batch of my classic Snickerdoodle cookies. Let them completely cool or the icing will melt!
• Prepare a batch of my favorite buttercream icing.
• Match the Snickerdoodle cookies up so they are in pairs and you have paired similar sized cookies together.
• If you want a more polished look, put your buttercream frosting in a piping bag or just a ziploc bag that you've cut the corner off of.
• Turn the Snickerdoodle cookies so that the bottom is face up, and either pipe the icing in a circle onto one side of the cookie or spoon it onto the cookie if you don't mind a messier look.
• Place the other Snickerdoodle cookie on top to complete the look.

CONFETTI SNICKERDOODLE SPRINKLE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the cookie dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar and salt on medium-high until it's light and fluffy.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar and baking soda.
• Add the egg white and half of the flour mixture to the stand mixer and slightly combine on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and combine on low speed, then add the remaining flour mixture and mix for 10 more seconds. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and gently stir with a spatula until well combined and a nice dough forms.
• Add the sprinkles and stir for a few more seconds to incorporate, but be careful not to mix too long or you will crush the sprinkles. Transfer the dough to a medium bowl, then refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover 2 sheet pans with parchment.
• For the cinnamon sugar: Combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the chilled dough into 1- to 2-inch balls, then roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar, completely coating them. Arrange the coated balls on the sheet pans about 3 inches apart so the cookies can spread without running into each other. Gently flatten the tops of each cookie with your fingers.
• Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the cookies start to brown. Cool the cookies on a wire rack. Once cooled, stick the cookies in the freezer for an hour.
• To assemble the cookie sandwiches, scoop the ice cream of your choice and place it on the flat side of a cookie, then sandwich the top cookie on top. Smush it until the ice cream is level with the edge of the cookies. Clean up the edges of the ice cream with an offset spatula so that they are flat.
• Next, get a bowl that is big enough to fit the whole sandwich into it and fill it with chopped toasted nuts, mini chocolate chips or sprinkles. Roll the edges of each cookie sandwich in the topping to coat.
• Eat immediately or put the sandwiches back in the freezer for 10 minutes to help the sprinkles stick, then wrap them in plastic wrap to share with friends!

SNICKERDOODLE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter, 1 cup granulated sugar and the brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly beat in the flour mixture. Increase the speed to medium high and beat briefly until well combined.
• Scrape the dough onto the baking sheet; spread evenly into a 10-by-13-inch rectangle using a rubber spatula. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle on the dough. Bake until golden around the edges, cracked on top and the center is just set but still soft, 10 to 12 minutes (Do not overbake; the cookie will firm up as it cools.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely on the pan, about 1 hour. Cut in half crosswise.
• Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let soften, about 15 minutes. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving a 4-inch overhang on the sides. Put 1 cookie half in the baking dish, cinnamon sugar-side down. Scoop the softened ice cream on top, covering it completely. Spread the ice cream gently with an offset spatula into an even layer, filling in any gaps or air pockets. Top with the other cookie half, cinnamon sugar-side up. Wrap tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap. Freeze in the pan until the ice cream is very firm, about 4 hours.
• Lift the whole sandwich from the baking dish and remove the plastic wrap. Using a sharp knife, trim the edges, then cut into pieces.

SNICKERDOODLE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Position 2 oven racks in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Combine the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl. Whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter and corn syrup in a large bowl until smooth. Add the vanilla and egg and whisk until combined. Add the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until just incorporated. The dough will be quite loose; refrigerate for 15 minutes to let it firm up a little.
• Scoop out 12 mounds of dough, about 2 scant tablespoons each, and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. (The cookies will spread a lot during baking.) Lightly flour your hands and press the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle each cookie with some cinnamon sugar, using all of it.
• Bake, switching the sheets halfway through, until the cookies are lightly browned at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies rest on the sheets for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• To assemble: Turn 6 cookies upside down on a cutting board. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the ice cream onto each cookie, and spread with a spoon or butter knife to the edge. Top each with a second cookie, and press down gently to adhere. Serve the ice cream sandwiches right away, or put them in the freezer to harden for about 1 hour, then wrap and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
