INGREDIENTS

1 package (18 ounces) refrigerated cookie dough, any flavor All-purpose flour as needed Any combination of colored frostings, peanut butter or assorted ice creams for filling Colored sprinkles, chocolate-covered raisins, miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces and other assorted small candies for decoration

PREPARATION:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease cookie sheets.
2. Remove dough from wrapper according to package directions. Cut dough into 4 equal sections. Reserve 1 section; refrigerate remaining 3 sections.
3. Roll reserved dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle with flour to minimize sticking, if necessary.
4. Cut out cookies using 3/4-inch round or fluted cookie cutter. Transfer cookies to prepared cookie sheets, placing about 2 inches apart. Repeat steps with remaining dough.
5. Bake 8 to 11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
6. To make sandwich, spread about 1 tablespoon desired filling on flat side of 1 cookie to within 1/4 inch of edge. Top with second cookie, pressing gently. Roll side of sandwich in desired decorations. Repeat with remaining cookies.
