You only need 2 basic ingredients to make these easy Peppermint Patty cookie sandwiches.
Pillsbury™ Candy Cane Sugar Cookie Dough: A limited-edition refrigerated holiday favorite made with sugar cookie dough and bits of peppermint white chocolate.
Ready-to-Spread Frosting: We love to use vanilla or chocolate frosting for a creamy, convenient filling that's easy to spread between cookies.
Optional Green Candy Sprinkles: Add a festive touch with green sprinkles or use other holiday-themed sprinkles.
Review these simple steps first, then find the full ingredient list and detailed instructions below.
Cut the 12 cookie dough rounds in half to make 24. For neater cookies, roll each dough half between your palms to reshape before placing on the cookie sheets.
Match cookies by size before sandwiching, as shapes can vary slightly. Spread frosting generously on one cookie and press the other on top, ensuring the frosting reaches the edges.
Pour candy sprinkles into a shallow bowl, and gently roll the cookie edges in the sprinkles while the frosting is still soft, so they stick well.
Here are our favorite ways to store your Peppermint Patty cookie sandwiches to keep them fresh and delicious.
Store cookie sandwiches in a single layer in covered container for up to 3 days.
Store cookie sandwiches in a covered container for up to 1 week. If stacking cookies, make sure the cookies are completely set, then place waxed or parchment paper between layers.
Store as directed above, using a covered, freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Remove frozen cookie sandwiches from container, and place in a single layer on a plate or tray. Let stand uncovered for about 15 minutes or until thawed.
Try these simple twists to make these Peppermint Patty cookie sandwiches your own.
Add a Festive Top: Sprinkle decorating sugar on the tops of half the cookie dough rounds before baking for a sparkly, colorful finish.
Swap the Cookie Dough: Try a different variety of Pillsbury™ Cookie Dough, like classic sugar cookie, chocolate chip, or double chocolate. Look for the 'Makes 12 Big Cookies' label on the package—this is the size you’ll need for this recipe.
Change the Filling: Use your favorite frosting flavor, or try a homemade chocolate ganache, buttercream, or jam.
Decorate for the Holidays: Swap in holiday-themed sprinkles or colorful decorating sugars to match any celebration or occasion.
Heat oven to 350°F. Divide each cookie dough round in half, reshaping as needed. Place 24 cookie dough rounds about 2 inches apart on two ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 11 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet. Remove to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
For each sandwich cookie, spread 2 heaping tablespoonfuls frosting on bottom of 1 cookie; top with second cookie, bottom side down; gently press together.
Roll each cookie sandwich in decorative sprinkles or candies to cover edges of frosting, using photo as a guide. Store in a single layer in covered container.
Use parchment paper to line cookie sheets for easy cleanup.
Bake the cookies ahead of time so they’re ready when your party starts. Set out assorted frostings and decorations to let the kids mix, match, and customize their own cookie sandwiches.
