MINI CHOCOLATE CHIP SANDWICH COOKIES

I love baking cookies to give as gifts to my family and friends. I created this recipe for my annual holiday cookie platter and it received rave reviews from both children and adults. If the buttercream doesn't come together after all of the butter has been incorporated, add some shortening one tablespoon at a time until the mixture starts to transform. -Julie Thomas, Saukville, Wisconsin
