Instructions
Cookies
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven at 350 F.
- In a large mixing bowl add all the cookie dough ingredients and mix with a spoon or a spatula.
- Using an ice cream scoop add scoops one by one onto prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes – the cookies should not flatten.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.
- Use the back of a utensil into the center of the warm cookie to create an indentation.
- Once the cookies are cooled completely fill them up with the caramel sauce.
Sesame Sauce
- Make caramel once the cookies are completely cooled and ready to be filled in – you want your caramel sauce to be warm and in a pouring consistency to fill up the cookies.
- Add water, sugar and butter in a saucepan and heat up the mixture on medium low till the sugar melts and starts turning golden.
- Remove from the heat and add cream to the sauce. It will bubble a bit violently but will eventually calm down and will form a beautiful caramel sauce.
- Return back onto low heat and add sesame while stirring continuously. Cook for a minute or two.
- Cook Time: 20 mins
