Cracker Sandwiches Recipes

GRAHAM CRACKER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat butter with 1 cup confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.
• Gradually add remaining confectioners' sugar alternating with the cream until frosting is fluffy and desired consistency.
• Beat in the vanilla and salt.
• If you're using peanut butter, add it now. Or divide the frosting in half and make half peanut butter and half vanilla.
• Spread a generous portion of the frosting on 1 graham cracker, top with another, and squeeze gently.
• Eat immediately or cover and let stand a few hours. The graham crackers will get softer as they absorb moisture from the frosting. I personally love that, but if you don't, eat them immediately.

PB&J RITZ CRACKER ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Line a small rimmed baking sheet with several layers of plastic wrap, making sure to thoroughly cover the baking sheet, leaving about 6 inches of plastic wrap hanging over the two long sides.
• Place the peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 15 seconds.
• Spread the softened ice cream into an even layer on the baking sheet. Dot with jam and drizzle with melted peanut butter. Using a knife, create swirls on the top of the ice cream. Fold the plastic wrap overhang over the ice cream to cover the surface and freeze for at least an hour and up to overnight.
• Carefully remove the frozen ice cream from the baking sheet and place on a cutting board. Cut out 15 rounds with a 1 1/2- to 2-inch biscuit cutter, or cut into 15 1 1/2- to 2-inch squares with a knife. Sandwich each piece of ice cream between two Ritz crackers. Place the peanuts on a plate, if using, and roll the edges of the sandwiches in crushed peanuts.
• Serve the sandwiches immediately, or place in a freezer-safe container and freeze up to 2 weeks (the crackers will become soggier the longer they are frozen). Enjoy!

GRAHAM-CRACKER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Make the cookies: Whisk together flours, graham cracker crumbs, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat butter and sugars with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat for 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture. Beat until well combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough to a scant 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out star shapes using a 3-inch cutter. Gently press a 2 1/2-inch star cookie cutter into the center of each to create an outline. Transfer cookies to parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing each 1 inch apart. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Bake cookies until pale gold, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cookies cool on sheets set on wire racks for 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks, and let cool completely.
• Make the marshmallow filling: Cook sugar, corn syrup, and 3/4 cup water in a medium saucepan over high heat, stirring and brushing down sides of pan with a pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming, until a candy thermometer reaches 260 degrees, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over remaining 3/4 cup water in a heatproof bowl, and let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water, and cook, whisking constantly, until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat. Whisk egg whites with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
• Once sugar mixture reaches 260 degrees, immediately whisk gelatin mixture into saucepan (it will foam up). Reduce speed on egg whites to low, and gradually add sugar-gelatin mixture to egg whites. Raise speed to high, and beat until mixture is thick, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer half of the marshmallow filling to a disposable pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag, and snip a 1/4-inch opening. (Leave remaining marshmallow in bowl with mixer on low speed.) Immediately, pipe marshmallow around edges of half of the cookies and fill in centers, then top with another cookie, pressing lightly. Dip edges of cookies into coconut to coat. Repeat with remaining marshmallow filling, cookies, and coconut.
