Instructions

Assemble the Fairy Bread Cookie Sandwiches

1If making your own buttercream, ensure it's at a spreadable consistency. If using store-bought, you might need to briefly whip it to loosen it up. Stir in vanilla extract if making homemade.
2Lay out the butter cookies on a clean work surface. Spread a generous amount of buttercream frosting onto the flat side of half of the cookies, creating the filling.
3Top each frosted cookie with another cookie, flat side down, to form a sandwich. Gently press to adhere.
4Pour the sprinkles into a shallow dish or plate.
5While holding a cookie sandwich, gently press the frosted edges into the sprinkles to coat them evenly. Alternatively, you can roll the edges in the sprinkles.
6Place the coated cookie sandwiches onto a serving platter.

Soften cookies slightly if they are very hard to prevent breakage during assembly.
Chill the assembled sandwiches for 15-20 minutes before serving for firmer frosting.
Use a piping bag for a neater buttercream application between cookies.
