Peanut Butter Cream Sandwich Cookies
Credit: Andy Lyons
We all know two is better than one, but these cookie sandwiches take it a step further by adding a creamy (or fruity), rich filling between two cookies. Mix and match your favorite chocolate, shortbread, and sugar cookies as the sandwich "bread," and fill in the space between with salted caramel, chocolate ganache, or fluffy marshmallow filling for sandwich cookie recipes that are double the sweet.
