Coffee Sandwich Cookies with Butter and Brown Sugar Filling

Try these scrumptious Coffee Sandwich Cookies for an amazing sweet treat with a subtle but delicious coffee flavor!

I love these Coffee Sandwich Cookies so much. However, I feel like I should offer a disclaimer due to the name. See, some of you out there love COFFEE – good, strong, black (or almost) coffee. I, too, love coffee but….with lots of sweetener and creamer (preferably half and half) – so basically coffee that isn’t really coffee at all. I also love coffee ice cream, coffee candy and coffee cake. These cookies fit right in.

These delicious cookies start out with a dough not unlike sugar cookie dough. It will need to be chilled, so make sure you allow time for that.

You’ll also want to make sure you have an icing bag and tip on hand. Trust me, it’ll make adding the filling go a lot quicker and the final result will look much prettier. Consider opting for reusable bags with a full set of icing tips so you’ll have them to use for other recipes in the future. They can really help take your baking to the next level.

Whether you’re celebrating National Coffee Day, baking a special treat for your favorite coffee connoisseur or satisfying your own sweet tooth, Coffee Sandwich Cookies fit the bill.

HOW TO MAKE

Cookies

3. In another bowl add all dry items together.
4. Slowly add the egg mixture to the butter mixture. Mix well.
5. Slowly add in flour mixture and stir fully combined, do not over mix.
6. Place the dough in your refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
7. Then, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
8. Roll out the dough on a floured solid surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Using a circle cookie cutter, punch out circles and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden.
10. Allow cookies to cool completely before filling with the icing.

Icing

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan on low heat.

6. Beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, until you reach desired consistency.

Between letting the dough chill, rolling it out, cutting it, baking it, and then filling the cookies with fluffy icing, these Coffee Sandwich Cookies do take a bit of time and effort….but trust me…they’re so worth it!
