Delicious Easy Dulce de Leche Cinnamon Sandwich Cookies recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
-
- For the cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
-
- For rolling:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- For the dulce de leche filling:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 can (13.4 oz) dulce de leche
Instructions
- Cream together softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar for 4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix for another minute. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms. Chill for 10–15 minutes.
- Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 2 tsp ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Roll chilled dough into 16–24 balls. Coat each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar and place onto a lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and centers soft. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon sugar if desired.
- Melt 1 tbsp butter, remove from heat, and mix in dulce de leche until smooth.
- Once cookies are completely cool, spread dulce de leche on one cookie and top with another to form a sandwich. Allow to rest for 1 hour to set.
Notes
- For thicker cookies, chill the dough longer.
- Let assembled cookies rest so the filling sets and flavors blend.
