This Caramel Cream Sandwich Cookie Recipe is one of my favorite holiday cookies!
Sure, it could probably be made year round but for some reason, I don’t make this delicious cookie recipe until December rolls around.
From the rich and delicious flavor of homemade caramel sauce or the subtle, buttery goodness hiding in a cookie, I love caramel in all forms. If you do, too, then you will love these!
In the spirit of The Eat Christmas Cookies Event going on at Food Blogga’s, I’m adding Caramel Cream Sandwich Cookies to the Holiday Cookie line-up. This recipe is from Pillsbury’s Best Cookies Book.
