Caramel-Chocolate Chip Sandwich Cookies

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling YIELD: 2-1/2 dozen.
These cookies are more cake-like; a nice change from the more common chewier chocolate chip cookie. I've been known to add a little peanut butter to the filling too. —Lauren Reiff, East Earl, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • FILLING:
  • 6 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 1-1/3 to 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in eggs, then honey and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • 2. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  • 3. For filling, in a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.
  • 4. Beat in enough confectioners' sugar to reach desired consistency. Spread 1-1/2 teaspoons filling onto bottoms of half of the cookies; cover with remaining cookies.
