Funfetti Sandwich Cookies

Image
While surfing on Pinterest  I found Funfetti Sandwich Cookies (the link includes the original blog post and recipe). They looked divine. I mean seriously, who doesn't love rainbow chip?

I cooked this for 1/2 hour at 350 degrees with the lid on. I find that I have very little time from when I get home,...
