Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
½ cup shortening, chilled and diced
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for decoration

Steps:

  • To Make Filling: Pour the condensed milk into a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat until hot. Stirring constantly, lower the heat to low and continue to cook the milk takes on a golden color, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Transfer to a bowl and cover directly with plastic wrap. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine the flour, 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, and the salt in a bowl. Cut in the shortening and the butter until crumbly. Beat in the yolk and the cream. Mix to form a dough, adding more cream if necessary.
  • Roll dough on a floured counter to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 2-1/2 inch rounds and place on ungreased sheets. Prick the top of the rounds a few times with a fork.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are light brown. Cool on sheet 1 minute and remove to rack. Spread the filling on one half and sandwich with another round. Dust cookies with confectioners' sugar.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I often make a batch on the weekend and then freeze them for later.

I had a hard time getting the caramel filling to set properly. I ended up having to bake the cookies for a few extra minutes.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and they turned out great. The bitterness of the dark chocolate really complemented the caramel filling.

The caramel filling in these cookies is out of this world. It's gooey and rich and perfectly balanced with the chocolate cookie.
