Ingredients:

|---|---|
| 1 cup | Butter |
| 3/4 cup | Brown Sugar |
| 1 cup | Flour |
| 2 1/4 cup | Powdered Sugar |
| 3 | Eggs (separated) |
| 2 1/4 tsp | Vanilla Extract |
| 1/2 cup | Evaporated Milk |
| 4-5 tbsp | Butter (for filling) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
-
Cream the butter in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, then gradually add the brown sugar, continuing to cream until well combined.
-
Blend in the egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated into the mixture.
-
Stir in the flour gradually until a cohesive ball of dough forms.
-
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
-
Shape the dough into balls approximately the size of large marbles.
-
Flatten each ball to about 1/8″ thickness using the palm of your hand.
-
Mark each cookie by gently pressing with a fork to create a decorative pattern.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges.
-
While the cookies are baking, prepare the caramel creme filling:
- In a saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until slightly browned and aromatic.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually blend in the powdered sugar until smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and evaporated milk, continuing to mix until a smooth, spreadable consistency is achieved.
-
Once the cookies are baked and cooled, assemble the sandwich cookies:
- Spread a generous layer of the caramel creme filling onto the flat side of one cookie.
- Top with another cookie to create a sandwich, gently pressing down to adhere.
-
