The pretty pastel colors of this outfit made me so excited for spring. One of my favorite things to make with pretty shades of pinks and blues are sugar cookies, I made extra thin cookies for this recipe but you can customize it to your needs. There are so many fun Easter treats available right now that I use those to make my frosting. Use any of your favorite candy in place of the jelly beans in this recipe to make a perfect spring treat!

Recipe: 10 cookie sandwiches or 20 cookies

Ingredients:

Cookies:

  • kacey-tess_Cookie-Sandwich1/2 C unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 C white sugar

  • 1 2/3 C all purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 C finely crushed almonds (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 drop blue food coloring (I use neon)

Frosting:

  • 300 ml heavy whipping cream

  5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  6. Roll out dough on floured surface (be sure to flour your rolling pin too) 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. I rolled mine out very thin for these cookie sandwiches, you can cater the thickness of the cookies to your liking.

Hi, I'm Kacey and I like to cook. A few years ago I started on my journey to be a bit healthier and care about what I was putting into my body more. I started to cook a few times a week and that grew into cooking everyday. I loved researching recipes and coming up with my own twist on them. After a while I began coming up with my own creations and wanted to share them. I started my blog, kaceytess.com, after a year or so of trial and error. I wanted to share healthy recipes with everyone and show that you don’t have to be a chef to make amazing tasting and lovely looking dishes. One of my favorite parts of cooking is that last step, plating. It makes such a big difference when you’re not only eating something that tastes good but looks good too. This is where you get to be creative and I love it.
