Better Together

Buttercream Snickerdoodle Sandwiches 

For my birthday, I decided to make one of my favorite recipes from the past year (seen here). Good news is they were as fantastic as I remember. Except afterwards I found myself with an extra tub of frosting (I am always very worried about having skimpily frosted anything). To keep myself from consuming the enture container with a spoon, more baking needed to be done ASAP. Feeling a bit lazy and confined by my dorm room kitchen, the search was on for a recipe that involved minimal work and mess. Snickerdoodle cookies to the rescue! 

Snickerdoodles are one of the easiest cookies to make, other than the classic chocolate chip. Their cinnamon flavor also feels very fitting for a crisp autumn day. I found a recipe here, but if you find yourself in a time crisis, Betty Crocker also has a box mix that will work. 

Now for the frosting. Let me please take a few line to profess my deep love for this confection. It is everything that you would hope and dream for; smooth consistency that won't drip or dry out. Soft, creamy color that resembles a perfect cloud. The flavors of real vanilla, butter and cream, merged together, none of that artificial deception. Be warned, this is not low-fat, healthy or even remotely good for your caloric intake. But it will make you happy. 

Like bacon and eggs, both the cookies and frosting are great on their own. Together, however, they are a dangerously delicious combination. 

p.s. don't forget about the sprinkles!!!
