List of Ingredients
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Frosting:
- 2 tablespoons butter (do not substitute margarine)
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 to 5 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat brown sugar and 1 cup butter until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk; blend well. Stir in flour; mix well. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 15 minutes for easier handling.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten to 1 1/2 inch circles with fork dipped in flour. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until light golden brown. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining frosting ingredients, adding enough milk for desired consistency; blend until smooth. Spread 1 teaspoon frosting between 2 cooled cookies. Repeat with remaining frosting and cookies.
- Yield: 2 1/2 dozen sandwich cookies.
- Tip: If frosting becomes too stiff as it cools, add enough additional milk for desired spreading consistency.
