Sour Punch Pretzel Sandwiches

With Sour Punch Halloween Candy

What You'll Need:

SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH:

1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter at room temperature
¾ cup (170 grams) granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup (100 grams) all purpose flour
2 teaspoons (10 grams) milk or cream
Sprinkles (optional)

COOKIE SANDWICHES:

Chilled sugar cookie dough
60 pretzels (square Pretzel Snaps are best)
5 ounces chocolate (chocolate chips, chopped chocolate, or candy melts all work)
Sour Punch Bats & Pumpkins (within the Mummy Mix)
Sprinkles (optional)

Mix Cookie Dough Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, sugar, and salt. Blend for 1-2 minutes, until fully combined and starting to become light and fluffy.

Scrape down the sides and add the vanilla.

Add the flour and sprinkles, if using. Mix on low speed until the flour is fully incorporated.

Add Milk/Cream

Add the milk/cream and mix until combined.

Spread Cookie Dough Into Flat Sheet

Turn the dough out onto a sheet of parchment or wax paper. Using a spatula, spread the dough into a 7×5.5” rectangle & fold the edges of the parchment paper over the rectangle.

Place the dough sheet on a pan to ensure it chills flat. Place pan into refrigerator & chill for at least 2 hours. If in a rush, chill dough in freezer for at least 30 minutes.
