1. Homemade Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches
Summer treats! Ice cream sandwiches are just the best. Actually, I love them in the fall and winter and spring too.
This recipe gives you chewy, thick, delicious chocolate cookies that are honestly yummy enough on their own. But then you fill them with any ice cream you want.
I am personally a huge fan of raspberry ripple in there.
2. Viennese Whirls
These are hands down my favorite cookie sandwiches. They are buttery, crumbly shortbread cookies filled with bright fruit jam.
Sometimes there is vanilla buttercream in there too because why not. They are absolutely perfect! It tastes like a strawberry shortcake but in cookie form.
If strawberries aren’t your thing, you can use any jam or jelly or marmalade you like. You could even add chocolate or nut butter to the middle. Addicting!
3. Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwich
This recipe is a classic for a reason.
You take two chewy chocolate chip cookies and fill them with a dollop of creamy vanilla buttercream. Sweet, buttery, and perfect for sharing. Or you know, not sharing.
4. Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
Chocolate on chocolate on chocolate. Can it get any better? I don’t think so.
That means these cookies are practically perfect. Each sandwich features two soft cocoa cookies filled with rich chocolate ganache.
This is a chocolate lover’s dream come true.

Classic red velvet cake in cookie form? YES.
These beauties are ideal for Valentine’s Day but they will satisfy any craving all year round.

You can add a dollop of dark chocolate ganache if you want a true luxe experience.

OMG. These churro ice cream sandwiches are beyond delicious.
You start with two cinnamon sugary flaky crispy perfectly golden churros. Then you add a layer of sweet vanilla ice cream to the middle. Perfection.
You can use chocolate ice cream for a fun take on the Spanish classic churros con chocolate.
8. Lace Sandwich Cookies
I consider myself a toffee enthusiast so I know it is pretty darn tasty. But you also know it can break your teeth which is a bummer.
I have the solution right here. These lace sandwich cookies taste like toffee and chocolate.
Each thin and lacey cookie is buttery and nutty and caramelized. They are so delicious.
Slathered with melted chocolate they become chewy and crispy and wonderful.

Bring a little autumn goodness to your kitchen with these pumpkin whoopie pies. Each sweet treat bursts with fresh pumpkin flavor and warming spices and velvety smooth vanilla buttercream.
They are so soft and moist that they are practically cake.
10. Fudge-Filled Double Cruncher Cookies
If you love desserts filled with texture and flavor and happiness then you need to try these. The cookies are soft and crunchy and chewy all in one.
Cornflakes and oats and coconut contribute to that fantastic texture while butter and white and brown sugars add tons of flavor.
They are jam packed with soft silky tangy chocolate fudge frosting. Super duper indulgent and heavenly in each bite.
11. Nutella Sandwich Cookies
I am a sucker for hazelnut desserts so these Nutella cookies certainly fit the bill.
The cookie shell is soft and chewy and deliciously nutty. And it is STUFFED with hazelnut spread.
It does not get any better than that. If you love hazelnuts as much as I do you can try adding some chopped nuts around the edges.
12. Lemon Blueberry Whoopie Pie
Lemon and blueberry is a super flavor combination. You find it in cakes and muffins and sweet bread and pancakes and now these delicious whoopie pies.
Each cake-like cookie is lemony and bursts with fresh blueberries. They are dense and moist just like a muffin top.
But wait there is more. Two of those tasty cookies are squished around a tart lemony cream cheese frosting.
Bright and juicy and fruity and the embodiment of summer.
13. Funfetti Cookie Sandwiches
These funfetti cookie sandwiches are great for kids and adults alike. Fun and colorful and gloriously sweet.
Since they are simple sugar cookies they are the kind of treats that please any palette. Filled with vanilla buttercream and sprinkles these babies could not look any cuter if they tried.
14. Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies
You know how books are always better than the movie? The same can be said for homemade baked goods versus store bought.
No shade to Little Debbie but these homemade oatmeal cream pies are definitely better. They are soft and chewy but the outside is just a little crispy.
Meanwhile the filling is a sweet creamy vanilla buttercream that melts in your mouth. Buttery and perfectly delicious.
15. Vegan Shortbread Cookie Sandwich
Vegan cookies and cakes have come a long way in the last few years. It is easier than ever to make something tender and tasty and inclusive with the abundance of dairy free ingredients.
These vegan shortbread cookie sandwiches are no exception. The chocolate shortbread cookies are chewy and sweet.
And the luscious dark chocolate ganache is rich and sinful.
16. Ginger Sandwich Cookies

They are also chocolatey and full of peanut butter flavor which makes them the perfect way to treat yourself while sticking to your diet.
19. Chocolate Peppermint Cream Sandwich Cookies
These holiday perfect cookies are absolutely delicious. Imagine taking an Oatmeal Creme Pie and Thin Mints and mashing them together.
That is sort of how I picture this recipe. These cookies have the chewy soft outside and sweet creamy filling of the Oatmeal Creme Pie.
But they have the chocolatey minty perfection of Thin Mints. Yum.
20. Occhio di Bue/Italian Sandwich Cookies
These Italian cookies certainly hit the spot. Sweet and easy and customizable.
The cookie shells are made with simple shortbread. Then they are filled with a filling of your choice.
Jam and ganache are the most popular options but use what tastes great to you. You can also add zests and extracts and teas to flavor the dough though you may have to play around to get the right consistency.
An excellent combo is Earl Grey shortbread with lime curd.
21. Orange Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
I adore Terry’s Chocolate Oranges and wish they were available all year. There is something special about the combination of citrus and dark smooth chocolate and these little cookies prove it.
The sugar cookies are light and bright and citrusy and bursting with fresh orange zest.
On the other end of the flavor spectrum the filling is rich and dark and decadent. Together they are enchanting and delicious.

These devil’s food whoopie pies are sinfully delicious. Thanks to the cake mix and store bought frosting they are also crazy easy to whip up.
All you need is a box of Devil’s Food cake mix and eggs and canola oil.
The cookies are soft and chocolatey and taste just like OG whoopie pie cookies. Then you sandwich pre made cream cheese frosting in the middle and roll them around in fun sprinkles of your choice.
Delightful and everyone will love them.
27. Banana Almond Whoopie Pies
If you can’t choose between banana bread and cookies don’t. These banana almond whoopie pies are the best of both worlds.
