Directions

Serving Size: 54 sandwich cookies

  • Filling: In a medium saucepan, heat butter over medium heat until melted. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, just until the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 5 minutes. Immediately remove from heat.
  • Strain, in a small bowl, butter through a coffee filter or paper towel. Cool for 30 minutes. When butter is cold but still liquid, using an electric mixer, beat with icing sugar and vanilla extract. Add whipped cream 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time, and beat until smooth.
  • Cookies: Combine flours, corn starch, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Reserve.
  • Beat, butter, icing sugar and vanilla in a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, until smooth and lighter in colour. Mix in dry ingredients just until incorporated and a smooth dough forms.
  • Roll 1 tsp (5 mL) dough into balls and place 2” (5 cm) apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten the cookies into ¾” (1.9 cm) discs.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 13 to 15 minutes. Cool on wire rack, 10 minutes.
  • Assembly: Spread underside of 1 cookie with filling. Sandwich with another cookie, flat side down. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling. Dust with icing sugar, if desired.
  • Preheat oven to 300ºF (149ºC). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
