Cookie Sandwiches

 

Make a batch of these Cookie Sandwiches and watch them disappear. The flavor combination of cherry, cream cheese and the vanilla cookie create a delicious and easy cookie recipe.

They are great for bake sales and holiday parties. For our Halloween parties, we add red and yellow food coloring to the cream cheese to give them an orange color. For Valentines day, we of course use red food coloring. We usually make these when the school asks the parents to bring in a dessert for the different parties they have throughout the year. They turn out to be the perfect size for little mouths.
