Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 cup Confectioners' sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the egg and pure vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together.
Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and just begin to turn golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets.
While the cookies cool, make the toffee filling. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and starts to bubble.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately whisk in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5–10 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, whisk in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread a generous dollop of the toffee filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy your toffee sandwiches!
