Chocolate Sprinkle Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter (softened)

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup cocoa

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/4 cup flour

1 cup sprinkles (jimmies)

Directions:

Heat oven to 375˚ 

In a bowl beat butter on medium speed until creamy.  Add sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt.  Mix well until combined.  Mix in the egg and vanilla.  Beat in flour.    Dough should not be sticky.

Fill a small bowl with rainbow sprinkles.  Roll dough into a 1 inch ball and then roll in the sprinkles until completely coated.  Then refrigerate for about 15 minutes before cooking.  Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.  Don’t overcook – you don’t want the tops to crack.

Frosting :

1/2 cup margarine or butter softened (1 stick)

1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat butter and powdered sugar in a large bowl with mixer on low.  Then add vanilla and beat on high speed until light and fluffy.  Spread frosting on cookies with knife, then sandwich them together.  These cookies are good to eat without frosting too!  Enjoy!
