Frosting Preparation

Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.

  1. Divide the fluffy frosting into separate bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl, and mix until vibrant shades are achieved.
Cookie Pairing
  1. Take a box of Chips Ahoy cookies and match them into pairs based on size and shape. Flip one cookie in each pair upside down.
Assemble Sandwiches
  1. Pipe or spread a generous layer of frosting on the flat side of one cookie, then press the matching cookie on top to form a sandwich.
Decorating
  1. While the frosting is still soft, press candy eyes into the frosting of each cookie sandwich, creating quirky monster faces.
Setting
  1. Let the Monster Sandwich Cookies sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to allow the frosting to set slightly.
