Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the sandwiches, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix the rest of the sandwich ingredients (including egg yolks) and fold gently into egg whites. Drop batter into 16 equal size amounts onto a VERY well-greased cookie sheet and bake for ~25 mins, or until just golden (***be sure to check on them after 20 mins, as these bake very quickly***).
To make the filling, combine all ingredients. When the cookies have cooled, spread filling onto the bottom side of half of the cookies. Assemble another cookie on top. Freeze sandwiches overnight. (The sandwich can be eaten right after freezing, as they are still relatively soft because they do not freeze all the way through).
*you can use regular or reduced fat cream cheese
**you can use sugar or any dry sweetener
***you can use vanilla or greek yogurt
