Gingerbread and Cream Cookie Sandwiches
Gingerbread and Cream Cookie Sandwiches… a delicious chewy gingerbread cookie with a wonderful creamy frosting. The flavor combination is perfection. They make a wonderful holiday treat!
I love the holiday season! I am just loving the warmer-cooler weather we have been having lately. The subtle chill in the air is crisp and feels fantastic.
With the cooler temperatures, I do a lot of baking at my house. I love the wonderful spice smells that fill my kitchen.
These Gingerbread and Cream Cookie Sandwiches are such a delightful treat! I love the softness and chewiness of the cookies paired with a creamy frosting center.
