- Filling: In a medium saucepan heat butter over medium heat until melted. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, just until the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 5 minutes. Immediately remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, strain butter through a coffee filter or paper towel. Cool for 30 minutes. When butter is cold but still liquid, beat with icing sugar and vanilla. Add milk, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time, and beat until smooth.
- Preheat oven to 300º F (149º C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cookies: In a medium bowl, sift flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Reserve.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, icing sugar and vanilla until smooth and lighter in colour. Mix in dry ingredients just until incorporated and a smooth dough forms.
- Roll dough into balls with your hands using a scant 1 tsp (5 mL) and place 2” (5 cm) apart on prepared baking sheets. Flatten the cookies into ¾” (1.9 cm) disks.
- Bake in preheated oven for 13–15 minutes. Cool on wire rack, 10 minutes.
- Assembly: Spread underside of 1 cookie with filling. Sandwich with another cookie, flat side down. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling. Dust with icing sugar, if desired.
- Make it the perfect moment by pairing these cookies with the bold yet smooth flavour of Folgers® Black Silk Coffee.
