Soft gingerbread cookies meet a creamy white chocolate cream cheese filling in these festive gingerbread white chocolate sandwich cookies! Perfect for any cookie tray.
I’ve got gingerbread on the brain, guys. Can you blame me? It is freaking DECEMBER and that is kinda insane.
Another semester is nearly over for this tired business student and I’m celebrating with all the gingerbread sandwich cookies. And…….finals? Well, the cookies are also helping me cope.
I mean, it is a big fat gingerbread cookie. Two of them to be precise. With white chocolate cream cheese frosting jammed in between ’em. <<<< stress food in a nutshell.
Or the shining star of the holiday cookie tray. You choose their purpose.
I am a HUGE fan of gingerbread and any type of chocolate hangin’ out together and today, the white chocolate is just workin’ magical things here.
First step is cookies. Generally always a good place to start. My gingerbread cookies are soft, chewy, fat, and addicting. Resist the urge to eat them straight off the cookie sheet, cause SANDWICHES YO.
And white chocolate cream cheese frosting is comin’ in clutch for the final sandwich makings. It’s entirely over the top and you will adore it.
And a teetering stack like that is at the very least how tall you’re gonna wanna stack these bad boys.
Again, entirely yo choice if you want these to even make it to the cookie tray. I support any and all decisions as long as you make these gingerbread white chocolate sandwich cookies.
And ship them to me. Please and thank you?

Instructions
Cookies

White Chocolate Filling
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until completely smooth. Add melted white chocolate, powdered sugar, orange zest, and vanilla and beat on high speed until filling is smooth and thick.
