Wow, it has been an insane 3 weeks of baking cookies around the clock. I wanted to enter SCHARFFEN BERGER’s Chocolate Adventures sandwich cookie contest, so I knew I had to create something unique. I had never made a sandwich cookie before in my life, so I was so totally out of my element with this one, but I created some cookies that I can be proud of!

We are now in the deep throws of winter here in Iowa, very very cold!!!! This Shrimp Jambalaya recipe is the perfect meal to warm you up. I think it was the Creole seasoning that made it too spicy for me, so I cut it back to 1 Tablespoon in the recipe (I will make it that way next time). If you like spicy, go ahead and add more. Heck if you like it really spicy, you could even add hot sauce!

This spicy Shrimp Jambalaya will definitely warm you up on a cold winter night! cookingwithcurls.com

When I first wrote this post I showed images of the four sandwich cookies that I created, but they were lost during one of the many blog updates over the years. None of them won, and these Chunky Monkey Cookies are the only ones that made it onto the blog…but not as a sandwich cookie, we preferred them plain. 🙂

Enjoy!!

    In reference to the comment above^ about your mixer. If it is only a few months old, I hope you kept the receipt & warantee information. Most companies you get at least 1 year. My Sunbeam came with a 3 year warantee. Depending on where you purchased it, you might also be able to purchase additional warantee. Shoddy or cheap workmanship pisses me off, considering how expensive these gadgets can be.
