Ingredients
  

  • 1 30 ounce package Pillsbury Gingerbread Cookie Dough
  • 2 tubs Pillsbury vanilla frosting
  • holicay sprinkles
  • 1 cup flour for rolling out dough

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • Preheat your oven to 350°
  • Lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour to prevent sticking
  • Roll out the cookie dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and use a cookie cutter (circle, gingerbread man) to cut out cookies

Bake the Cookies

  • Place the cut-out cookies on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are firm but not browned. (time may depend on the size of your cookie cutouts so watch them closely)
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Assemble the Sandwich Cookies

  • Once the cookies are fully cooled, add a generous layer of Pillsbury vanilla frosting on the flat side of one cookie. You can pipe the icing using a frosting bag and tip or use a knife and spread evenly.
  • Top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Pressing gently to endure the icing spreads to the edges.

Roll in Sprinkles

  • Pour your holiday sprinkles onto a plate or shallow dish.
  • Roll the edges of each sandwich cookie in the sprinkles, pressing lightly to be sure they stick to the icing.

Notes

I used a 2 inch circle cutter for mine and was able to get 60 cookies and made 30 sandwiches. That included just enough dough for me to snack on as well!
