This is going to be a fun week. I didn’t plan it out this way, but I’ve ended up with lots of goodies to giveaway, so this week is going to be giveaway week! I’ve got giveaways today through Thursday, and I might just throw in a giveaway on Friday and Saturday – just to round the week off. It is the holidays, after all!!

Up first – my friends at McCormick have teamed up with Kim Ima, the author of The Treats Truck Baking Book. If you are looking for some ideas for some holiday baking this year, this is a must have book. In fact, it’s a baking book that you’ll want for year round baking!

I couldn’t pass up these cookies the minute I saw them in this book. A brown sugar soft cookie sandwich with a browned butter frosting – this one screamed out to me! I would probably make them a bit smaller next time, because these cookies are super sweet, but I did love the soft texture of the cookies and of course, I loved the browned butter! I also think they would be great with a sprinkle of salt to balance out a bit of the sweetness. There are so many cookies, cakes and brownie recipes in this cookbook that I can’t wait to try out!

Description

2 soft brown sugar cookies are sandwiched with a browned butter buttercream. A truly indulgent cookie!

Scale

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups (4 sticks) butter
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 4 cups flour

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 5 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 6 tablespoons milk

Instructions

To make the cookies:

  1. In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter together. Add in the egg yolks and the flour and mix well. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap and wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 325F. Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  3. Roll the dough out to 1/4″ thick. Cut the cookies with a round cookie cutter. (If the dough is soft, refrigerate until firmed up.) Place the cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly golden. Cool completely on the baking sheet.

To make the frosting:

  1. Place the butter in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Stirring often, cook until brown flecks appear. Take off the heat.
  2. Add the vanilla and confectioners’ sugar to the butter and whisk to combine. Whisk in the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until creamy and smooth.
  3. Using an offset spatula or butter knife, frost the underside of 1 cookie and top with another cookie to make a sandwich. Repeat with the rest of the cookies.
  4. Cookies will keep in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days.

    ANY cookies! Holidays mean an assortment of cookies when it comes to my family 🙂 If I had to choose one, I’d go with good ol’ chocolate chip!

    My favorite Christmas chookies would have to be the mint meringue with mini chocolate chips my grandma used to make every Christmas. She just turned 90 on Sunday, and doesn’t make her cookies anymore, but I now make them for my children and we all love them!

    Thanks for hosting this giveaway! I love anything caramel. My favorite cookie during this season is a simple snickerdoodle. They are so easy to make and fun to eat!

    My favorite holiday cookie isn’t really a cookie … well maybe. We call them “bark cookies” and they’re just ritz crackers with peanut butter on the inside dipped in chocolate.

    Unfortunately I can’t eat these or most other cookie anymore … I have a gluten sensitivity. But I still love baking for everybody else! I’m planning to gift my dad and grandpa a “cookie of the month” subscription from my kitchen.

    My favorite holiday cookies are chocolate mint cookies. Just a chocolate cookie with a Hickory Farms mint (the pastel green, pink and yellow ones with the white sprinkles) melted on top!

    My favorite holiday cookie is the key lime white chocolate cookies that my beat friend always sends me every year for christmas. My whole family loves them. I would love to win the cookbook as I love to bake.
    And McCormicks spices and extracts are the best!!

    My favorite holiday cookie is oatmeal, walnut, cranberry. They really need fresh cranberries, thus the holiday categorization!

    I know these aren’t home-made but I love the Oreo cookies covered in white chocolate that are in the stores around this time of the year. As for home-made, the always popular old standby, warm from the oven Toll House Cookies!

    My favorite cookie is one I don’t make anymore because I am the only one who eats it. It’s called “little knots” and it’s an anise and lemon flavored Italian cookie. My aunt Parma would make them for Christmas and then my mother would make them. They are very plain, not too sweet but just perfect with a cup of coffee.
