Clam Cookies

We used 2 packages of large clam looking cookies we found at Walmart and then two plastic containers of cream cheese frosting, whipped in a stand mixer just until light and fluffy.  Also add food coloring of your choice.

Pipe frosting onto the backside of the clam cookie using a large open star tip, add another cookie to the top and making one side of the sandwich clam more closed than the other.  Use Sixlets for clam pearl.
