~ Caramel Sandwich Cookies ~
1 cup butter or margarine, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
3 T dark rum
1 t vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 t baking powder
1 3/4 cups caramel sauce
1 cup sweetened flaked dried coconut
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, with a mixer on medium speed,
beat 1 cup butter and sugar until smooth. Add
egg yolks, whole egg, rum, and vanilla and beat
until well blended. In a medium bowl, mix 2
cups flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Stir
into butter mixture, then beat until well
blended. Divide dough in half, press each
half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and
freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Unwrap
dough. On a lightly floured surface, with a
floured rolling pin, roll one disk at a time
to about 1/8 inch thick. With a floured, 2 - 3
inch round cutter, cut out cookies. Place
about 1 inch apart on buttered 12x15 inch baking
sheets. Gather excess dough into a ball, re-roll,
and cut out remaining cookies. Bake until cookie
edges just begin to brown, about 10 minutes. If
baking two sheets at once in one oven, switch
their positions halfway through baking. Let the
cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then use a
wide spatula to transfer them to racks to cool
completely. Turn half the cookies bottom side
up and spread each with about 1 tablespoon
caramel sauce. Top with remaining cookies,
bottom side down. Place coconut in a shallow
bowl. Gently squeeze each sandwich until
filling begins to ooze out sides, then roll
edges in coconut.
Makes 18 - 25 sandwiches cookies
