Caramel Cream Cookie Sandwiches Recipe

1. In large bowl, cream 1 cup butter with 1/2 cup brown sugar and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg yolk and mix well. Then add flour until dough forms. Chill for 1-2 hours.
   
   
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
   
   
3. Roll dough into 3/4" balls and place on cookie sheet. Flatten to 1/8" thickness by pressing two times, in crosswise pattern, with tines of a fork, or by pressing with the bottom of a sugared drinking glass.
   
   
4. Bake at 325 degrees F for 8-10 minutes until cookies just begin to turn very light brown around edges. Remove from cookie sheets and cool on wire rack.
   
   
5. In saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter (NOT margarine). Cook over low heat until butter just begins to brown, watching carefully, aboug 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and blend in powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream until desired spreading consistency.
   
   
6. Sandwich two cookies together with frosting. Makes about 4 dozen cookies. (I made these too big and it only made 24 sandwiches)
   
   
7. These little sandwich cookies freeze very well. Prepare them as directed, then pack into rigid freezer container, separating the layers with waxed paper. Seal, label, and freeze. To thaw, let stand at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
