Snickerdoodle Sandwich Cookies

 

Snickerdoodle cookies are a family favorite recipe around here.

However, I wanted to give them a little twist by sandwiching them together with a delicious spread. And that’s where the caramel cream cheese frosting comes in.

My daughter LOVES caramel and caramel and cinnamon are a great pairing.

The snickerdoodle cookie itself is super soft and slightly chewy.  The caramel cream cheese frosting is sweet and slightly tangy.  They’re the perfect pairing together.

My daughter declared these THE best sandwich cookie!

These Snickerdoodle Sandwich Cookies would be perfect Christmas cookies on your holiday cookie tray or set out for Santa.

Adams Extract

Prize 2 – Adams Extract Prize Pack

Adams traces its beginnings back to Battle Creek, Michigan, when John A. Adams began making and selling his Green Plant Sarsaparilla extract, Adamur, in 1888. In 1905, he moved his family to Beeville, TX. At the time, most vanilla sold to pharmacies and was often labeled “Do not bake or freeze.” John A. Adams’ wife yearned for a flavoring that wouldn’t bake or freeze out. He announced that he could produce a better vanilla than the one his wife was currently using. Working with just $6.71 worth of materials on top of an old icebox, John A. Adams discovered the formula he wanted. To test this product, his wife whipped up a cake for the family to try. “John, this is the BEST flavoring I have ever used,” she announced. “Well, that’s old man Adams BEST,” he responded.
