2.Sandwich Cookies

This form is indeed very similar to a sandwich because it consists of two parts of cookies that are stacked with jam, cream, or marshmallows. Sandwich cookies do look very similar to macarons. But these two are of course different because they are made of different materials. The texture and taste are also different. Sandwich cookies have a crunchy texture on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside.
3. Bar Cookies
When compared to drop cookies, bar cookies have a way of making that is even simpler and easier to do. Bar cookies are made by flattening all of the cookie dough in a baking dish and then baking it until cooked. Once cooked, the cookies are immediately cut into square or box shapes. Usually this type of bar-shaped cookies is made from a mixture of grains and nuts. This mixed material makes the texture of bar cookies more crunchy and crunchy. These types of cookies are widely consumed by people who are on a diet because they are rich in fiber.
