Toffee Sandwich Cookies

I love this cookie, but it doesn't taste as good without the filling/icing, so no skimping!! 

 

 Please disregard the heavy cream in the picture, pretend its half and half.

I love butter, and sugar. who doesn't?!

 I hate packing brown sugar, who's with me? Cream butter and sugars...

and then it will look like this

Add one of the eggs and beat well

then add the second egg and beat well, raw egg skeeves me out. blah

In a small bowl combine all the dry ingredients 

Gradually add the dry mixture. 

I learned quickly that adding the whole thing at once 

will cover your kitchen in white powder, and its a real bitch to clean. 

 

  

Ok so I had a lot less than I needed but they don't taste any less delicious.

I'm pretty anal most of the time, I am trying to learn to go with the "I don't have the right ingredients" flow.

I don't promote or encourage eating raw egg, and will take no responsibility for salmonella poisoning, but this batter is delicious. I'm not saying eat it, I'm just putting it out there. I could eat this whole bowl.

 

I had to go outside, I was losing daylight. Our kitchen doesn't get very good light to begin with.

Filling/Icing

 

more butter...damn you butter. damn you.

Cream the butter and vanilla.sinful.

 

This is after GRADUALLY adding 4 cups of powdered sugar. Add half and half or milk as needed

Now take a lick. but make sure no ones looking. There's no egg in here I have no qualms with talking all of you into eating a spoonful of this. It will improve your day.

All my natural light was gone by this point, after 3 batches of cookies 

and comforting a grouchy 3 year old brother...

  

Which to him these are called swamwich cookies.

He loves swamwiches.
