Ingredients

3 cups butter, softened
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
6 cups all-purpose flour
Sugar
FILLING:
3 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup 2% milk
1/3 cup butter, cubed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup brickle toffee bits
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate, melted, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Gradually beat in flour. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375°. Shape dough into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten cookies with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake 5-7 minutes or until set. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For filling, in a large saucepan, combine brown sugar, milk, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage). Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl; beat in confectioners' sugar, cream and vanilla until mixture reaches spreading consistency. Stir in toffee bits. Carefully spread on bottoms of half the cookies; cover with remaining cookies. If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate.
