    Happy Cookie Friday! Even though we got some fun looking cookies here today – there is actually nothing to celebrate but a regular Cookie Friday. But some colorful Funfetti sprinkles never hurt anybody, right?! ;) No need for a birthday or anniversary for these colorful Funfetti Sandwich Cookies. Every day can become a special day with some fun and delicious cookies… just give it a try ;)

    What’s better than a single cookie? Of course two cookies with some frosting in between – that’s so obvious, isn’t it? If you want to treat yourself with something sweet, do it right! You don’t have to reach into the bowl with the cookies twice… two cookies are automatically stacked together here ;P

    These cookies here are made with a simple shortcrust pastry – improved with some colorful nonpareils. Without those little sugar pearls you could use the dough for Christmas cookies, for example… or any other sugar cookie you want to cut out with cookie cutters ;) The cream in between the cookies is a simple American buttercream, which has some cream cheese added cut back the sweetness a bit. A great combination that creates colorful cookies you could also wrap up as a gift for someone you like.

    Make sure to keep the cookies in a cool place because of the buttercream layer between the cookies. The cream would last some time at room temperature, without a doubt, but right now with the summer heat hitting us, a cooler place (like in the fridge) is definitely the better choice.

    If you like it simple and colorful, take a look at these cookie recipes – they are all made with colorful sugar pearls.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. In a large bowl mix the flour with confectioners’ sugar, and salt. Add the butter in small pieces, as well as the egg yolk and knead until you get a nice smooth dough. Add the sprinkles and fold in. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest for about 30 minutes in the fridge.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line several baking sheets with baking parchment. Roll out half of the dough (keep the rest on the side) thinly on a floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter with a diameter of about 1.4 inches (3,5cm) and cut out an even number of cookies. Place the cookies on the baking sheets, collect the remaining dough and roll out again to cut out more cookies until all dough is used. Place one baking sheet at a time in the oven and bake for about 8-9 minutes – the cookies should not get much color here. Take out of the oven and let cool down on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

    3. For the filling add the butter, confectioners’ sugar, and salt to a large bowl and mix first slowly, then on high speed for about 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the cream cheese and vanilla extract and mix in well. Fill the cream into a piping bag with a round tip and pipe a small amount of cream onto half of the cookies and top with the other half of the cookies to create little sandwich cookies. Place for about 1 hour in the fridge so the cream can harden a bit. Store in a cool place.

    1. In einer großen Schüssel das Mehl mit Puderzucker und Salz vermischen, dann die Butter in kleinen Stücken, sowie das Eigelb dazugeben und zu einem glatten Teig verkneten. Die Regenbogen Sprinkles dazugeben und einarbeiten. Den Teig in Klarsichtfolie wickeln und für 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Mehrere Bleche mit Backpapier auslegen. Den Teig halbieren und auf einer bemehlten Fläche dünn ausrollen. Mit runden Ausstechern (Ø 3,5cm/1.4 inches) eine gerade Anzahl von Plätzchen ausstechen. Auf die Bleche setzen und die Teigreste mit dem restlichen Teig verkneten und weitere Plätzchen ausstechen. Jeweils ein Backblech in den Ofen schieben und etwa 8-9 Minuten backen – die Plätzchen sollten nur wenig Farbe bekommen haben. Auf einem Kuchengitter etwas abkühlen lassen. Mit den restlichen Plätzchen wiederholen.

    3. Für die Füllung die Butter mit Puderzucker und Salz in eine große Schüssel geben und erst langsam, dann auf höchster Stufe für 4-5 Minuten hell und luftig aufschlagen. Frischkäse und Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und gut unterrühren. Die Creme in einen Spritzbeutel mit runder Tülle füllen. Auf die Hälfte der Cookies einen Tupfen Creme aufspritzen und dann einen zweiten Cookie auflegen und leicht zusammendrücken. Die Sandwich Cookies für 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank legen, damit die Creme etwas fester werden kann. Cookies an einem kühlen Ort lagern.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
