Ingredients




Cinnamon Crisps
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Frosting
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Hot fudge or milk chocolate.

Preparation

1 Combine room temperature butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add egg, incorporate well.  Add flour and cinnamon, mix until combined. 2 Form a full tablespoon of dough into ball and place on silpat sheet or parchment paper that is on baking pan.  Flour hands and press down until about 1/8 in thick.  Use cookie cutter in desired shape and press down into dough.  Leave cutter there, and remove excess dough.  Lift up cookie cutter and repeat process. 3 For frosting, Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup sugar and then the milk and vanilla. On the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes. 4 Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. (about 2 minutes) You may not need to add all of the sugar.  You will want a thick pancake batter consistency for these dessert sandwiches.  Add milk to water down, sugar to thicken. 5 After cookies have cooled, you can start to assemble the sandwiches. 6 Take one circle cookie and place it on your plate or serving tray.  Gently add frosting with a piping bag.  Add another cookie, do another layer of frosting.  Gently add final cookie. 7 Drizzle with hot fudge or melted milk chocolate.

About


This is a cinnamon sugar cookie with frosting and hot fudge drizzle.
I made this ultimate dessert with a wonderfully rich vanilla frosting. 
I have no idea what I was thinking.
Its almost too sweet.  Even for me.
However, right after hubby ate one, he asked me, "What was that?" 
I explained it to him in great detail and he just sat there looking at me.
Uh oh.
Then he said, "That was by far the best thing I have ever tasted in my whole life.  Better then any cake or cookie or cheesecake.  Amazing."
That is a big compliment from my non-sweet liking husband.
I think I WILL be trying this again. :)
