These festive sugar cookie sandwiches are incredible! They're minty, buttery, and have a slight crunch. The crunch is more so from the pepperminut crunch in the sandwich frosting rather than the cookie. The cookie becomes soft. It's like eating a heaven sammich.

I think when you add the small cut out in the center of the cookie and combine that with the frosting peaking out and festive sprinkles, it really pulls the sandwich together. It brings a little something special to these cookies.

  • 1 batch of sugar cookies
  • ½ cup salted butter room temperature
  • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 T. milk
  • 2 drops peppermint oil
  • ½ cup Andes Peppermint Crunch

Instructions

  • Prepare and bake your cookies! Let them cool completely. My batch made 34 cookies so I had about 17 sandwiches.
  • In a medium bowl, add in the butter and powdered sugar. Beat on low until most of the sugar is incorporated.
  • Add in the peppermint oil and milk. Start with 2 tablespoons and add the additional if your frosting is still too think. Mix on high until light and fluffy about 1-2 minutes.

Notes

If you don't have peppermint oil such as LorAnn's Oils, use about ¼ tsp. to ½ tsp. of peppermint extract. The oils are much stronger than the extracts.
