No time to bake for the holidays, no problem. Don’t discount good ready made products that you dress-up. I found some really good ginger snap cookies at Costco, and decided to do some little filled gems. Of course, you can use other flavors of cookie for your sandwiches. And the possibilities for filling are as much as you can imagine. You can use a cream cheese, mascarpone, ricotta, or Greek yogurt mixture, with sweeteners and flavors. Straight Nutella is always a winner, or a nut butter. Make it your creation. Don’t have time to make sandwich cookies, serve cookies and dip! Or better yet, serve a cookie and filling “Sandwich Bar.”
Here’s what I did.
