Doughnut Sandwich Cookies for a good cause. These cute sugar cookie sandwiched between vanilla buttercream and sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread. Topped with cookie glaze and lots of sprinkles. This version is my favorite sugar cookie recipe cut into 3-inch circles with a smaller hole cut out for the center. Save the centers to make doughnut holes.
