I found these little delights while surfing through Food Network’s website again. Those guys that won the 1st season of the Next Food Network Star, Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh created this recipe. I was looking for a fun cookie to take to a family in my church and I found em! I know I sound like a broken record, but these are soooo worth trying. Easy Easy and so good. I was licking the frosting right off the rubber spatula. Enjoy!

Place the batter onto a sheet pan by the tablespoonful, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake in the top half of the oven until the cookies are golden, about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.
When the cookies are completely cool, put a teaspoonful of the butter cream into the center of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, pressing down until the filling squeezes out a bit. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Lisa,
I have only had a giant cookie at PB Loco at Fashion Square. Sounds like I’ll have to try the grilled cheese next time I go with the boys!
I’m glad these cookies are boxed up and out of my house. I could have taken a spoon and just endulged in the frosting! Love the pics of you and your cute girls on your blog!
Oh my do those look scrumptious! I actually have all the ingredients on hand too. Need to take a dessert to a dinner on Saturday, and think these just might be the ticket.
