Cookie Sandwiches with Peanut Butter and Avocado Chocolate Frosting

When I think of cookies, I think of special moments in my childhood, of sitting with a glass of milk to enjoy those homemade sweet treats. So when I had the opportunity to review Mrs. Fields’ cookies, I was really excited, as they have a long history of sharing their homemade goodness.

Soft-baked and snack-sized, Mrs. Fields Nibblers® taste just like those homemade cookies I remember from my childhood. And now for the first time, you can find delicious flavors like Milk Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Double Chocolate Fudge in a grocery store near you.

Although we are pretty lucky and both my husband and I work from home, we work really long hours, and during the week we have little time to spend together as a family.  On weekends we disconnect (as much as possible!) and fill the days with fun activities or trips.  We try to turn each weekend into a special family celebration, be it by taking a fun trip to the beach or exploring Florida or by creating special moments at home.  When we go on family trips, Mrs. Fields nibblers are the perfect snack to bring along, whether for a long trip or as the perfect sweet treat at a picnic in the park.

This past weekend we decided to create a super fun snack to celebrate Spring.  We started off with Mrs. Fields chocolate chip chocolate-dipped nibblers, then followed with the peanut butter chip cookies and the double chocolate fudge, which were my favorite.  We created mini cookie sandwiches and, to add a bit of a twist and make them more fun, we used peanut butter & avocado chocolate frosting as the filling.

Plus, we also had some vanilla frosting in the house, so we made mini cookie sandwiches with it, but the chocolate ones were so much better, and there was the added nutrition from the avocado. We also made some cookie sandwiches using store-bought vanilla frosting we already had at home, and my kids love both.

It was such a fun way to eat the cookies, which we accompanied with some milk, and these sandwich cookies would be ideal for a party snack.

  1. We love chocolate chips cookies and I usually bake at home. I never thought that you can make cookie sandwich this way. I have never tried but I love avocado and peanut butter. Something to try this weekend. I will also see if we have that brand of cookies in the store.
