These simple, quick, yet delicious vanilla cookies in the shape of the popular yo-yo toy are baked from shortcrust pastry, then sandwiched together with a thick layer of frosting. The cookies are crumbly and melt-in-your-mouth, so they should be served immediately after being sealed with the filling, to prevent them from becoming soggy. However, these Yo-Yo cookies are so delicious, they'll fall apart without leaving any leftovers.
