Cinnamon Maple Cool Whip Cookie Sandwiches

NOTE: This is a tandem post; Audrey's commentary is left-aligned,  Molly's is right-aligned and italicized.

With two bakers in the house, conversation in our family often veers towards food. And when it does, we come up with our best ideas. This recipe is one of those great ideas- the outcome of our mutual brainstorm during a random conversation that I can't even remember getting started. It just happened. It was meant to be. It was magical.

Some might even say...fate.

It went something like:
"We should put cinnamon in the New York Times chocolate chip cookie dough."
"Oh and why not put some cinnamon chips in it too"
"And let's make them cool whip sandwiches with maple extract in the cool whip." (#definitelyhowithappened)

Things escalate quickly when Audrey and I start brainstorming recipes. You may have noticed.

So maybe that's not exactly what happened. But it was something like that. With a long moment of silence at the end where we basked in the wonder of our combined brain power and sat in anticipation of how they would taste. There might have been a little mourning over our current jean sizes.

New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookie Cool Whip Sandwiches

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

Have you ever baked the chocolate chip cookies off the bag of chocolate chips? The go-to, ever faithful and delicious classic? Or maybe you have your own classic chocolate chip cookie recipe that you always use? Maybe something sentimental from your childhood of coming home to your mother’s freshly baked cookies?

Well, forget about all of those recipes because they pale in comparison to these. I don’t even need to try them. I just know. That is how good these are. The New York Times even says so. And maybe you don’t agree with their politics or whatever (why pay attention to that when they talk about cookies?), but I know you will agree with their taste in cookies. I know I do. And I am totally unbiased.  I can’t even vote. But if I could vote for cookies I would vote for these. (Too much? Too cheesy? But it's true.)
