I know I have mentioned my love of American Cookie Company before, and how their cookies and cookie cakes are incredible, but what I haven’t mentioned is that they have this cookie behemoth they make called a Double Doozie.
Trust me, this thing is perfectly named y’all. It’s two giant M&M cookies with their cake frosting in the middle, making a giant doozie of a cookie sandwich. I don’t know why but I got to thinking about how much I wanted one, and realized how much I didn’t feel like going to the mall to get one (ATL traffic y’all) and decided it was about time to make my own.
While thinking about how to make my homemade M&M doozies, it made me think of my friend Matt. You see, Matt and I worked on an ABC TV show together in Los Angeles for months and months, that production office had a giant container of M&M’s which Matt munched on all day (he’s still skinny too…boys). Anyway, can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone who loved M&M’s so much, so every time I see M&M’s I think of him haha.
After this random train of thought I had to say hey to my L.A. friend to see what he had been up to, and it’s totally awesome because he has started his own production company. How cool is that?! I’m so happy and proud, so I have to brag on him a bit and put a link to his site here . So after y’all check that out, for reals make these. Yes, they’re enormous and ridiculous but dang these are so freaking good! Even I couldn’t eat a whole one in one sitting, because of their enormous size, and you could totally make the cookies smaller and all that, but jeez look at them π so yummy…Also, note that I doubled the cookie and frosting recipe because I knew these things would be so large and I wanted to make more than just a few sandwiches. Have a happy Monday y’all!!

These sandwich cookies look and sound so wickedly delicious. I love anything m&m related – so I wish I had one now!

Louisa says
Looks yummy! Will the frosting harden or stay soft?
Holly says
Hey Lousia! the frosting will only harden if you place in the fridge, but as soon as it’s at room temperature it’s really nice, whipped and soft π
