Made up only 1/2 recipe. I used a small ice cream scoop to make the cookies and they really turned out uniform to be matched later with the filling I cooked them 6 min. in my convection oven and they were perfect. They were especially good to me since they are not too sweet. Next time I will make up the full recipe and change the filling to 1/2 crisco/1/2 butter & a touch of vanilla. The children love them, not only because they are good, but they are individually packaged like a special treat. .

we made the cookies from this recipe and filled them with a combination of marshmallow fluff, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar (filling from a diff cookie.) they tasted just like cakesters!!


we actually made a vanilla version of these.. added a little extra flour and left out cocoa powder. we amazing!!

I made these yesterday for my son's bake sale at school and they were a huge hit! I doubled the recipe and probably made them a little bigger, I found that baking them for 7 minutes was perfect. I made 5 dozen sandwich cookies. I will definitely make again, my son wants them for his next treat day at school.
