Vanilla Bean Melting Moment Cookies with Caramel Filling
- Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gently stir in the sifted flour and cornstarch until the dough is well combined.
- Pipe and Bake the Cookies:
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a fluted tip.
- Pipe 1-inch rounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them for spreading.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies turn golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the tray to prevent breaking (cooling on a rack may make the delicate cookies hard to handle).
- Make the Caramel Filling:
- Combine all caramel ingredients (butter, sugar, and cream) in a saucepan over very low heat.
- Stir constantly for 25-30 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and pale golden.
- Allow the caramel to cool to room temperature.
- Assemble the Cookies:
- Spread a dollop of caramel filling onto the flat side of one cookie.
- Sandwich it with another cookie, flat sides facing in.
- Repeat with remaining cookies and caramel.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve these delicate, buttery cookies with a cup of tea or coffee. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
