Cranberry Sandwich Cookies

I’m going to share a couple of ways you can make this delicious homemade cranberry sandwich cookie.

Crock Pot Cranberry Butter

We love using our Crock Pot, especially during the fall and winter months. Cranberries are also in abundance this time of year so making a batch of cranberry butter to use for toast, muffins, and cookies make a perfect seasonal idea.

All you need to do to start is add your cranberries, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, and apple cider to your Crock Pot.

After 2 hours in the Crock Pot, you’ll want to remove the cinnamon sticks and blend or puree the sauce.

Strain any chunks from the cranberries and place the butter back in the Crock Pot on low until it is a thick buttery consistency. It’s usually about an hour.

Now you have a yummy Cranberry Butter.

Easy Cookie Recipe

This actually could be two separate recipes since you can use the Crockpot Cranberry Butter for a variety of baked goods and your morning toast. Plus, you can also make the crockpot butter ahead of time and have it prepared for your cookie baking.

If you are looking to make this an easier sandwich cookie recipe use store-bought cranberry jelly or raspberry or strawberry preserves for a sweet and delicious taste and an easy cookie to bake.

Pair up the cookies based on matching the size and create 24 sandwich cookies
