FauxReo Cookie Sandwiches

The break in the heat means a return to the kitchen, apparently. Today, the flour and sugar, eggs and butter, and no small amount of chocolate beckoned. V and I responded to the call and made these FauxReos. (The recipe likened them to Oreos, but I thought this name was much more fun.)

They're nothing like Oreos, it turns out, but they're yummy. Rather than enjoy her first taste with the buttercream frosting intended by the original recipe, V opted to turn hers into an ice cream sandwich. By the end of the day, the girls and I had tried both the ice-cream-sandwich version and the buttercream version. Ice cream was the hands-down winner.

BlueKitty agreed.
