ingredients
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 13.5 ounce can dulce de leche caramel
- 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 8 ounces melted milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 milk
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup flaked, sweetned coconut
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Method
Step 1
For the Cookies- Heat the oven to 375. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and whisk to combine.
Step 3
In the bowl of a mixer, add the butter, granulated and brown sugar and vanilla and beat on medium speed until creamy. Add the eggs and continue to beat until the ingredients are combined.
Step 4
Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and beat slowly until combined. Add the coconut, milk chocolate chips and nuts and continue to beat on slow speed until combined.
Step 5
Scoop out portions of cookie dough and drop onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the cookies start to turn golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and place on a rack to cool while you make the buttercream.
Step 6
For the dulce de leche buttercream- Place the butter, dulche de leche and vanilla in a mixer bowl and slowly beat to create a smooth mixture.
Step 7
With mixer running, slowly add the powdered sugar until the buttercream is a spreadable consistency. Add enough milk as needed to make the buttercream smooth.
Step 8
To assemble the cookie sandwiches, place a cookie, top-side down, on the counter. Pipe or spoon some of the buttercream in the center of the cookie. Place another cookie on top, this time top-side up. The cookies can be stored in a covered container at either room temperature or in the fridge. You can freeze extra cookies and buttercream.
