chocolate chip cookie sandwiches

[100% vegan]

it's safe to say that i'm addicted to sweets. and i'm not one of those people that claims an addiction, but is satisfied with one square of dark chocolate after dinner. can anyone actually do that? if it's not an entire lava cake, then it doesn't qualify as dessert in my book. i've driven down the 405 at unbelievable speeds to get to frozen yogurt shops before they've closed (the bigg chill has dairy free!), i've hidden chocolate from myself only to seek it out the very same night in a panicked frenzy, and i've created disgustingly decadent combinations of chocolate and peanut butter that i'm sure would make any normal person sick. so when i found out that i could no longer eat dairy (which is in pretty much all of my favorite desserts), i just about threw in the towel. that is, until, i was introduced to the luxurious world of vegan desserts. i'm not talking about toasted granola or fruit salad - i'm talking about things like chocolate chip cookie sandwiches with cream cheese frosting!

[yum]

i made the above cookie sandwiches for a BBQ we went to a few weeks ago and not one non-vegan there hesitated for a second as they gobbled them down. in fact, almost everyone commented on how tasty they were! i'm not going to lie and say that they are low calorie, but if you're craving a real dessert and chocolate soy milk just won't do it, whip these up:

once the cookies have cooled, put a dollop of frosting in between two and enjoy!
