Apple Cinnamon Chip Cookie Sandwiches

I know, we barely finished Labor Day weekend and I am on to apple recipes.  Normally I don't rush these kinds of things.  But, I have to tell you...I am so tickled with this recipe!

Apple Cinnamon Chip Cookie Sandwiches say September and to me, September is all about apples!

 

These apple flavored cookies are soft and contain bits of cinnamon chips.  In between, there is a cinnamon buttercream frosting!!!  See why I am tickled?  These cookies will become the apple of your eye!  So easy to make and all the flavors of the season...totally seasonal simplicity, right?  Here's how you make 'em.

I bet you didn't realize that the base was a muffin mix?  Told ya they were easy!

Dump + mix + bake = one heck of a good September Cookie

BTW, ignore the old looking fingers...I really need to get my hand model (daughter) back.  Stare at all the deliciousness (love making up words) in that cookie.  The cookie has all the flavors of September with apples and cinnamon.  The icing?  Well, that just pushes that cookie into a top spot.

Happy September!  Enjoy all that comes with the new month and...

celebrate the little things that make life seasonally sweet,
