Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies

Chocolate cookies filled with a rich, creamy peppermint filling! These are a huge hit with both kids and adults, and they are ideal for a cookie exchange! If you're an Oreo lover, try these without the peppermint for a delicious homemade Oreo! If you make BIG cookies, you'll get about 4 dozen, and if you make Oreo size cookies...you'll get 6 dozen. These will look like triple-stuffed Oreos...yummy!

These look a little bit like the Spritz sandwich cookies I tried. I was inspired by the mint Oreos, too (my husband loves them). So tasty!
