Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 can (13.4 oz) dulce de leche (such as Nestle Dulce de Lechera)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prep your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Roll each dough ball in this mixture to coat.
- Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are just set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Spread dulce de leche between two cookies to create a delicious sandwich.
Notes
For best results, ensure butter is softened to room temperature. Do not overbake for a chewy texture.
