These cookies are delicious plain, but I like to make them into sandwich cookies with the brown butter filling. In a pinch, you can use a can of frosting.

Caramel Creams Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min./batch + cooling
  • Yield: 18 Servings
20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • FILLING:
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons butter
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Combine the flour, pecans and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and beat well. Shape into two 10-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  • For filling, in a small saucepan, cook butter over medium heat until golden brown. Pour into a large bowl, beat in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough cream to achieve spreading consistency. Spread on the bottom of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Yield: about 3 dozen.

Absolutely a delightful cookie! Have made them several times and they never fail. Rave reviews when I feed them to my co-working nurses on night shift!
