These cookies take all of my favorite rich fall flavors and roll them into one delicious treat. Literally. They are super easy and if you are looking to skip a step, you can leave out the filling and and just bake like normal. These two classic cookies combined are such a tasty treat.
Do you have tools in your kitchen you can’t live without? My Baking Mat from Good Cook is one of those, I use it for everything. Sometimes I use baking tools for something completely different than what they are intended for, like a decorating bottle to fill cookies, saves me a ton of time and mess! All of these tools are ones that made my life a little easier while making these Snickersnap Delights. Check out Good Cook for more awesome kitchen tools you just must have.

Okay, let’s get started.
Make your Snickerdoodle and Gingersnap dough.
Knead them together until marbled. I would even say I mixed these two just a tad too much.
Roll flat.
Use a pastry cutter to cut your dough. Good Cook’s handy double wheeled pastry cutter allows for either straight or scalloped edges.
The more marbled the better. Whip up your filling.
Fill your decorating bottle, I used my star tip, and put in the fridge for at least an hour. Pipe onto the bottom half of your sandwich and top with another cookie!
