These aren’t just any cookie sandwiches; they’re festive, they’re flavorful, and dare I say, a bit fabulous. Ready to dive in? Let’s do this, Cousin!
How to Make Christmas Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches
Grocery List
- Cold Unsalted Butter – 1 1/2 cups
- Brown Sugar – 1 ¼ cups
- Granulated Sugar – ½ cup
- Eggs – 2 (room temperature)
- All Purpose Flour – 2 cups
- Cake Flour – ½ cup
- Quick Oats – 1 ½ cup (the quicker, the better!)
- Cornstarch – 1 tsp
- Baking Soda – ¾ tsp
- Salt – ½ tsp
- Cinnamon – ½ tsp (for that warm hug feeling)
- White Chocolate Chips – 1 ½ cups
- Mini M&Ms (red and green) – 1 cup
- Holiday Sprinkles – ½ cup
- Unsalted Butter – 1/2 cup (room temperature)
- Powdered Sugar – 1 1/2 cups
- Vanilla Extract – 2 tsp
Directions
- In your trusty mixer bowl, unite that butter and sugars. Whisk ‘em on medium till they’re living their best fluffy life (about 4 minutes).
- Crack in those eggs, one at a time. Go slow and steady, Cousin!
- In another bowl, mix the flours, quick oats, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Then, sneak this mix into your buttery sugary blend on a low speed.
- Bring on the festive vibes! Toss in the white chocolate chips, sprinkles, and M&M’s on low till they’re partying together.
- Show that dough some love by wrapping it up and letting it chill in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.
- While the dough’s chilling, warm things up and preheat that oven to 410°F.
- Time for some cookie yoga! Roll out the dough on a floured mat till it’s a neat ½ inch thick.
- Craft out 24 cookie circles with a medium-sized cookie cutter and lay them out on a parchment-covered baking tray.
- Pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until they’ve got that golden crown.
- After their oven stint, let them cool for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to chill out completely.
For the Icing on the Cookie:
- Mix butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl till it’s dreamy and fluffy.
- Pipe this magic onto half the cookies. Cap them with the remaining cookies to seal the deal!
Tips & Tricks from Your Fav Cousin:
- Quick Oats vs. Rolled Oats: Quick oats absorb moisture faster, giving a slightly softer texture. Perfect for our sandwich cookies.
- Chill Out: Always allow the dough to chill. It prevents spreading and helps with shaping.
- Storage Pro Tip: To keep these beauties fresh, store in an airtight container. If you’ve got extras (which I doubt you will), they can be frozen for up to 3 months!
