Frozen Apple-Oatmeal Sandwiches
These frozen chocolate-dipped cookies are a cool treat on a hot day. Make the cookie sandwiches with purchased oatmeal cookies and a cream cheese filling.
Ingredients
-
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
-
2 tablespoons sugar
-
2 tablespoons apple juice or milk
-
2 tablespoons apple jelly
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
2 packages (8.6 ounces each) soft-baked oatmeal cookies
-
6 ounces milk chocolate
-
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Directions
1.
In a medium-size bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, apple juice, jelly and cinnamon. Beat on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
2.
Spread 2-1/2 tablespoons mixture over flat side of one cookie. Sandwich with flat side of second cookie, being careful not to let filling ooze out side. Repeat with all cookies and filling, for a total of 8 sandwiches. Place on a small waxed-paper-lined cookie sheet and freeze for at least 3 hours or until firm.
3.
Combine chocolate and vegetable oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Stir until smooth, returning to microwave in 15-second increments, if needed. Remove sandwiches from freezer. Half-dip in chocolate. Return to waxed-paper-lined sheet; return sheet to freezer. Freeze 15 minutes. Serve cold.
