Buttercream Sandwiched Sugar Cookies

From sandwich cookies

Aren't these cookies cute - I can see them at a little girl's princess party, a baby shower or even on dessert plate after a casual or fancy dinner!

The recipe is my grandmother's sugar cookie recipe that I originally posted here.

The buttercream is my favorite Neoclassical Buttercream by Rose Levy Beranbaum - those who read this blog regularly know she is my baking idol). I colored the icing pink and sandwiched it between two rectangular shaped cookies. But your favorite frosting - white, chocolate, or mmm even lemon would be spectacular. My kids and I are planning another round of sugar cookies this week - in a Spring theme. I'll post when ready!

Note: if you use my sugar cookie recipe and are using smaller cookie cutters like these, 8 minutes in the oven seems about right.
