Gingerbread Sandwich Cookies

Clearly, I have a thing for gingerbread desserts.  I've made cakes, cookies, and even a gingerbread house cake!  I am not sure if it's the spice element, deep molasses flavor, or the fact that anything ginger around the holidays reminds me of my grandmother's Ginger Crinkles.  Regardless of why, I just keep gravitating toward ginger and gingerbread-inspired treats.

Remember this amazing 6-layer Gingerbread Latte Crunch Cake I made last year?

Well, I decided to turn that flavor pairing into a cookie.  Yup, Gingerbread Sandwich Cookies with coffee latte filling.  Along with molasses and some of my favorite spices, these sandwich cookies contain almond flour and a touch of cocoa for extra depth and a bit of softness. I paired the cookies with a rich, creamy espresso buttercream filling. They’re perfect for snacking on with one of those whipped cream-topped holiday coffee beverages or just a plain cup of joe.

I made this cookie recipe as part of the Cooking Channel's "31 Days of Cookies" series.  A handful of us bloggers, along with their test kitchen, have created the most delicious variety of cookie recipes for you all to enjoy this holiday season.  So go ahead, be the star of your next cookies exchange, and head on over to check them all out!
