How to Make Peppermint Patty Cookie Sandwiches

Review these simple steps first, then find the full ingredient list and detailed instructions below.

1. Bake the Cookies

Cut the 12 cookie dough rounds in half to make 24. For neater cookies, roll each dough half between your palms to reshape before placing on the cookie sheets.

2. Fill and Sandwich Cookies

Match cookies by size before sandwiching, as shapes can vary slightly. Spread frosting generously on one cookie and press the other on top, ensuring the frosting reaches the edges.

3. Decorate

Pour candy sprinkles into a shallow bowl, and gently roll the cookie edges in the sprinkles while the frosting is still soft, so they stick well.
