Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Creamy Caramel Sandwich Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Using a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous amount of caramel sauce on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
10. Repeat with the remaining cookies and caramel sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
• Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour; this will keep the cookies tender.
• Allow cookies to cool completely before adding the caramel to prevent it from melting too much.

Easy Variations

• For a chocolate twist, add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients for chocolate-flavored cookies.
• Incorporate chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, into the cookie dough for added texture.
• Use flavored caramel sauces, like sea salt or chocolate caramel, to enhance the taste.

What to Serve With It

• A glass of cold milk for a classic pairing.
• A cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
• Ice cream on the side for an indulgent dessert option.
