MINI CHOCOLATE CHIP SANDWICH COOKIES
I love baking cookies to give as gifts to my family and friends. I created this recipe for my annual holiday cookie platter and it received rave reviews from both children and adults. If the buttercream doesn't come together after all of the butter has been incorporated, add some shortening one tablespoon at a time until the mixture starts to transform. -Julie Thomas, Saukville, Wisconsin

Time 1h1m
Yield 16 cookies; 8 sandwiches
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Cream the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer until it gets lighter in color. (You could also beat the butter by hand.) Slowly add in the sugars and keep beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add your egg and mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture using the low speed, then mix in the chocolate chips and caramel candies.
- Drop the dough onto your baking sheets using a 1 1/2-inch (1/2-ounce) ice cream scoop. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart. Press down on the dough balls to flatten them to about 3 inches around. Pop in the oven and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes, and then let cool completely on wire racks.
- Now to make the ice cream sandwiches. Line baking sheets with foil. Use a 2 1/2-inch ice cream scoop to drop the ice cream onto the flat half of half your cookies. Cover the ice cream with the remaining cookies. Get the ice cream oozed out to the edges of the cookies by pressing them together gently. Roll the sides of the ice cream sandwiches in the crushed pretzels, making sure the pretzels stick. Place on the prepared baking sheets lined and freeze until ready to serve, at least a half hour.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and fine salt together in a bowl.
- With an electric mixer, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips and caramel bits.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between the cookies (you will have cookie dough left over). Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt.
- Bake the cookies until golden brown, rotating the position of the baking sheets halfway through, 13 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. Meanwhile, cool the baking sheets and repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling them with caramel. This will help to prevent the caramel from melting and making the cookies messy.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to fill the cookies with caramel.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
