1package (16 ounces)refrigerated (ready to bake) chocolate-chip cookie doughNote 1
1containercream cheese or vanilla frostingNote 1
24M&M's (I use blue and green)
1/2cupjimmies rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat the oven according to cookie package directions. Bake cookies on parchment or Silpat-lined baking sheets, according to package directions.
Remove from the oven and let cookies cool completely.
Once cooled, add frosting to the inside of 12 cookies. Take the remaining 12 cookies and top each frosted cookie with another cookie to make 12 total cookie sandwiches. Press the sandwiches down gently but firmly enough that the frosting oozes to the edges of the cookies.
While the frosting is still soft, roll the edges of the frosting into a bowl of the jimmies rainbow sprinkles. (See video)
Take the remaining frosting, and add it to a plastic bag. Cut off the tip of the bag and pipe 2 round circles onto the top of each cookie sandwich. Press an M&M onto each round circle to form 2 eyes.
Best enjoyed within 2-3 days.
