Festive Sandwich Cookies!
Delicious easy to bake festive spiced cookies stuffed with a salted caramel, and dusted with icing sugar perfect for Christmas
Servings: 15 biscuits
Ingredients
- 250 g unsalted butter (room temp)
- 150 g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 egg yolks
- 350 g plain flour
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 150 g caramel sauce/dulce de leche
Instructions
- Beat the butter and sugar together until combined
- Add in the vanilla extract, plain flour, egg yolks and spices and mix again
- Shape into a ball and wrap up the dough and refrigerate for at least one hour
- Once the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 160ºc fan and line two-four large baking trays with parchment paper
- Roll out the dough to about 1/2cm in thickness and then cut out the circles for the biscuits. I use a 8cm snowflake cutter.
- You’ll need to cut a smaller snowflake or circle out of the centre of half of the biscuits you create to make the sandwiches
- Keep using up and re-rolling the dough until it has all been used
- Transfer to the baking trays and then bake for 10 minutes
- Leave the biscuits to cool on the baking tray
- Once cooled, on the solid biscuits, spoon a larger teaspoon of caramel into the centre and help it spread out, but not right to the edge.
- Press the other biscuit on so that they are aligned - dust with some optional icing sugar
Notes
- I used an 8cm snowflake cookie cutter in this recipe, but you can use any shape you want
- These will last 5-7+ days, once made
- You can freeze these for 3+ months
- You can swap the caramel for another centre such as a jam, Nutella or Biscoff
- Feel free to increase or decrease the spices depending on what levels you normally like a sweet spiced bake
