Earlier this week I was scrolling Instagram at work (hey, we all need to take breaks sometimes, right?) and I saw a post from Enjoy Life Foods. The post was an announcement for a recipe contest! I immediately got super excited, because if there are two things I love in this world, it’s chocolate and contests. Five seconds after reading the rules, I mentally signed myself up for said contest.

I know you’re just dying to know. What does this contest entail? The rules are relatively simple:

  1. Use any type of Enjoy Life cookie plus no more than 3 additional ingredients
  2. All ingredients must be free from gluten, dairy, and nuts
  3. Recipe/photo must be posted by March 5th

Seemed easy enough, so as soon as I got out of work that day, I made a beeline for the grocery store. Since I could only use a grand total of four ingredients, I knew I had to get creative with my chosen ingredients. I finally decided on a cookie sandwich, with frosting to hold my two cookies together and then dipped in chocolate! I took it a step further and made my frosting stuffed with chocolate chips, because why not? This is dessert we’re talking about, right?

The end result? So SO good. It’s like Dunkaroos for adults. You remember Dunkaroos, don’t you? I shoved my face with them my entire childhood. It was kind of a relief when they stopped making them, but now they’re back at it again with their delicious shenanigans. Yikes. Anyway, these cookie sandwiches will fill that craving right the heck up, and in a healthier way!

I opted for the little crunchy cookies so that they would be bite sized, because who doesn’t love a bite sized dessert? These would be a great choice for parties so that party goers can have one along with a little something of everything else. No need to commit to a huge piece of cake or pie. Instead, a tasty little two-bite sweet treat. AND they’re vegan, so pretty much everyone on the planet can enjoy these little tasters. If parties aren’t your thing, because 2021, make this no-bake dessert with the kids instead. These contest cookies are a good match for chocolate lovers everywhere!

Servings: 24 cookie sandwiches
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Enjoy Life Mega Chunks, heaping
  • 1 tub vanilla frosting of choice I used Miss Jones, but Duncan Hines also has some varieties that are vegan and free from the common allergens!
  • 3 tbsp Enjoy Life Mini Chips
  • 1 6 oz package Enjoy Life Crunchy Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies

Method
 

  1. Line a large sheet pan with wax paper. Set aside.
  2. Pour the Enjoy Life Mega Chunks into a medium microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Microwave in 15 second increments, removing from the microwave to stir, until just melted. Set the bowl aside to let cool a bit.
  3. Stir the frosting with a butter knife until combined, smooth, and creamy. Stir in the 3 tbsp of Mini Chips until distributed evenly throughout.
  4. Empty all of the cookies out onto a flat surface. To assemble the cookie sandwiches, take one cookie and use the butter knife to spread a small amount (about ½ tbsp) of the frosting mixture onto the cookie. Take another cookie and press it down on top of the frosting. Smoosh it down and wipe the excess frosting from around the cookie. Drag the cookie through the melted chocolate so that ¼ – ½ of the cookie becomes coated in the melted chocolate. Place on the sheet pan and repeat until all of the cookies are gone.
  5. Once all of the cookie sandwiches have been made, place the sheet pan in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or so until the chocolate has hardened. Serve and enjoy!
