Description

Instead of animal shapes, make these cookie sandwiches with a round cookie cutter to keep things simple. You, of course, can make them into circus animals, as they make for a cuter cookie.


Ingredients

Scale

Cream filling:

  • 1/3 c. shortening
  • 2 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Cream together the shortening and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until nice and fluffy (about 1 minute). Add the vanilla and beat for another 30 seconds.
  2. After the cookies have set, pipe the cream onto one cookie and then sandwich together. Repeat until all cookies are filled.
  3. Store in the fridge or freeze in a baggie or air tight container.
