These are such cool cookies and I love your cutter. Isn’t it fun to find a bargain? But I got the same impression you did about her husband. Well, you did her proud with these adorable cookies. We have family members who don’t appreciate our cookbook collection or our love for cooking. So I’ve written in my will who gets the cookbooks and the cookwear so this doesn’t happen to me 🙂
Sam
Madonna, I just love the little stories you share along with your wonderful recipes, about your dear Dad and the get-away car! The husband selling the books ~ I think you’re right on about that one, either he didn’t value her books, or the lady didn’t cook. 🙂
Your little Fairy Ice Cream Sandwiches are perfection, great tip about rolling the dough out ~ I’m going to use it . . . I am so NOT good about rolling dough out evenly. :p
Me too, I have those cutters and use them more than any others, but now, after seeing yours– I have turquoise envy! Mine are a boring white/cream color.
Thank you Mari. I can’t imagine me teaching you anything, you are such a good cook. I do love my cookie cutters. They are sharp and when you press down the dough separates. You do not need to twist or wiggle them.
I am sure my Dad would be amused if he knew I was talking about him. Well, maybe he knows. 🙂
5 books for a dollar? It is a steal! I share your dad’s concern about driving away fast in a getaway car. 🙂 LOL. And these sandwich cookies came out beautifully! Definitely worth 1/5 of a dollar! 🙂
What makes a cookie a fairy cookie? Love the name and the shape, it just doesn’t look like a fairy? I love getting great deals on used books, especially cookbooks! Thanks for linking this up to the weekend re-Treat link party.
I love this idea…perfect size for my little grands! And…wow…I am definitely trying your cookie-cutting method! My kitchen and I are always covered with flour when finish! I am sure you have done the seller proud by enjoying her cookbooks…although she must not have loved them as much as you do or they wouldn’t be out there! Have a great weekend!…hugs…Debbie
Thanks Debbie. You can make the cookies as big or as little as you want. Just make sure they are all one size per tray so they bake evenly. Well, you probably already know that. 🙂
These are so pretty and the recipe is simple enough. I like the idea for spreading the ice cream and cutting. The cookie flavor must be wonderful. I put Kahlua in my Pecan Pie.
I am pinning, thanks for sharing.

They are very simple. Kahlua compliments chocolate, but have not tried it with Pecan Pie. I’ll make a note of that. I am always looking for a way to bump up flavor.
A charming story, (I couldn’t read it fast enough!), and a pretty fairy cookie complemented by a cold surprise treat! Raspberry chill between sweet crunchy goodness! Thanks for all your tips, as usual, they make the difference!

PS: Those pale green cookie cutters are pure nostalgic fun!
Now this looks good enough to eat! Love the story of how you got the book also! I’ve had those ‘start the car’ moments myself. Thanks for sharing at TTF!
Hors d’Oeuvres by Vicki Liley. I hope you will try them. You do not have to make your own ice cream, but I have to tell you it is pretty darn good. Thanks for visiting.
what a steal! 🙂 hahaha….no wonder you need to start racing away. These fairy ice cream sandwiches are so adorable and I wanted some now. Ever since I make my own ice cream, I haven’t buy a tub in the market. Simply because my own taste a lot better and I know what goes into them. 😉
I have had so much fun with these. At first I was upset about the ice cream, but now I have a couple good recipes and I don’t miss store-bought at all.
Hmmm….I don’t think of a cookie, unless its savory, as an hors d’oeuvre but I’m glad you got the cook books because they certainly spurred you on to a wonderful creation.
These are so cute, and what a bargain. I would have grabbed those books and beaten it out of there as well. Really, though, to have one’s cookbooks go to someone who will love them, and appreciate them, and use them, well, what more can we ask?
Hi Madonna, I love Sam’s idea about putting her cookbooks and other cooking paraphernalia in her will. That’s an excellent idea. I’m glad you got a good deal on the cookbooks and have put them to good use. I’m loving your turquoise cookie cutters. I’m in cookie cutter envy (blush)!! I wish I had a fairy cookie right now. xo
These look delicious! They are as cute as their name, too. My granddaughter would love something like this especially once I told her they were Fairy Ice Cream Sandwiches!
Thanks so much for your comment on my French Script Table post! : )
Ms. Madonna, I am really happy I read this particular post today. First of all, it was my first laugh of the morning (“Who drove the getaway car?”), and second, I really needed your rolling out and cutting technique. I’m baking some cookies today, and am going to utilize your method- thanks!
Thanks for visiting Joy. I don’t know why, because it is an old joke, but every time Dad would say it I would laugh. Let me know how your cookies turn out.
I hope you will try these if not now then when it is warm in your area. They really are a treat that I would like you to enjoy. Thank you for visiting me.

Sam, you are wonderful. I am so glad you understood. I will have to rethink the will. 🙂

They are so cute:)
Love your turquoise cutters too..out of all my cutters that set..not in turquoise..:( is the most used.
Ms. Lemon says
I received the cutters as a gift. I just love them.
Angela @Little Apple Tree says
These are so pretty! They definitely look like food fit for a fairy, and raspberry cheesecake ice-cream sounds divine.
Ms. Lemon says
Thank you. 🙂

20 cents – isn’t that outrageous? These little sandwiches are just enough dessert after dinner.

Ms. Lemon says
I think it is called fairy because they are so small or just a little nibble. It is from a hors d’oeuvre book.

Book bargains are always good to find! I’m curious though, what is the title of the book?
I’ve found your post via Foodie Friday (it’s my first week taking part) 🙂

I’d make these just for the delightful name! They sound wonderful. I love your dad’s sense of humor – he sounds like he’d be so fun to be around.
Ms. Lemon says
Chris, the tiny ones would be idea for those midnight parties for your little ones.

My thoughts exactly, I always thought they were savory, but I guess they can be either. They made a great nibble.
