Time 2h

Yield 15 to 18 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups dulce de leche

Steps:

  • Beat the butter, confectioners' sugar, granulated sugar and orange zest in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and beat until smooth. Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl, then add to the butter mixture and beat until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then mix for an additional 20 seconds. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until it's 1/4 inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, punch out as many circles as you can. Arrange the circles on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Gather the scraps, reroll and cut out more circles. If the dough starts to get soft, return to the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Using a 3-inch cookie stamp, mark each cookie. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes.
  • Bake the cookies until lightly golden around the edges, about 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Spoon the dulce de leche into a pastry bag and snip a corner. Pipe the dulce de leche on half of the cookies, making sure to pipe the filling on the side without the stamp. Top each with another cookie, stamp-side up.

Number Of Ingredients 16

Crust:
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 1/4 cups finely ground graham crackers (from about 17 whole graham crackers)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
3 8-ounce packages Philadelphia-brand cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup purchased dulce de leche*
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Glaze:
2/3 cup purchased dulce de leche
3 tablespoons (or more) heavy whipping cream
Fleur de sel**

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 13 x 9 x 2-inch metal baking pan with nonstick spray. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add melted butter; stir until coated. Transfer crumb mixture to pan. Press evenly onto bottom of pan. Bake until crust is light golden, about 10 minutes. Cool completely on rack.
  • For filling:
  • Blend cream cheese and sugar in processor until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl. Add eggs 1 at a time, processing 3 to 5 seconds to blend between additions. Add dulce de leche and vanilla; process until blended, about 10 seconds. Spread batter evenly over cooled crust. Bake until just set in center and edges are puffed and slightly cracked, about 38 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool completely.
  • For glaze:
  • Heat dulce de leche and 3 tablespoons cream in microwave-safe bowl in 10-second intervals until melted. Stir to blend, adding more cream by teaspoonfuls if too thick to pour (amount of cream needed will depend on brand of dulce de leche). Pour glaze over cooled cheesecake; spread evenly. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour (glaze will not be firm). DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.
  • Cut cheesecake lengthwise into 4 strips, then crosswise into 6 strips, forming 24 bars. Sprinkle bars with fleur de sel.
  • * A thick, sweet sauce made from caramelized sugar in milk or from sweetened condensed milk; available at some supermarkets and specialty foods stores and at Latin markets.
