Amazing French Toast Cookies (GF)

I LOVE french toast. And, I love cookies. So I thought why don't I combine the two? These amazing french toast cookies are the result! Soft dough is rolled in cinnamon sugar and baked in the oven until the dough puffs up and becomes a light airy cookie. Then, the cookies are drizzled with vanilla icing and topped with fluffy, sweet, and buttery french toast pieces. Sounds like the perfect cookie, right?

Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube🙂

If you aren't serving these cookies right away, leave assembly until the last minute. This way, the icing won't make the cookies soggy.
