Watermelon Sandwich Cookies

Priory Fine Pastries — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:00:21 +0000

We all love watermelon in these hot summer months! But sometimes, watermelon as a dessert is just not enough! Here’s a very cool and unique dessert idea from watermelon.org involving our favorite summer fruit with a little bit of extra flair – Watermelon Sandwich Cookies!

Ingredients: – 12 (3-inch) blueberry pancakes, cooled to room temperature
- 1/2 cup white frosting
- 6 (2/3-inch thick and 3-inch round) seedless watermelon slices, drained to remove excess moisture

Instructions: Evenly frost the bottoms of each pancake with the white frosting. Arrange six of the pancakes, frosting side up on a serving platter. Place a slice of watermelon on each of the frosted pancakes on the platter. Top each with the remaining pancakes, frosting side down. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This recipe serves 6.

Holy Cow!
