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. 2. 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 whipped cream 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time, and beat until smooth. 3. Preheat oven to 300ºF (149ºC). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. 4. Cookies: In a medium bowl, sift flours, corn starch, baking powder and salt. Reserve. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. Bake in preheated oven for 13-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack, 10 minutes. 8. 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. Blissful decadence in a bite-size treat that is melt-in-your-mouth good! Tips: • Filling can be made up to 2 days in advance and kept in refrigerator. Bring to room temperature, 1 hour, before using. • Make it the perfect moment by pairing these cookies with the bold yet smooth flavour of Folgers ® Black Silk Coffee. 7
