This recipe combines two of my favorite things: Chewy ginger cookies and sweet citrus frosting. Thought they don’t fit my current dairy-free bill, I made them a while back for a party I attended and were mostly devoured by fellow guests. I made some with modest amounts of frosting and others with obscene amounts. Guess which ones went first? OBSCENE. Fat kids are popular, what can I say? Not only are these cookie sandwiches fun to look at, they’re also quite delectable. Fluffy orange-flavored buttercream makes the perfect glue between two chewy ginger cookies. The flavor combo just works. Plus, they’re quite simple to throw together, requiring just one bowl and about 30 minutes to prepare. This is a the kind of party favor I can get behind. If you’re not a fan of the cookie sandwich, simply top each single cookie with a touch of the frosting. Or, if frosting makes you gag, simply opt out of it altogether (who ARE you?). The cookies themselves are pure perfection on their own.
