BROWN SUGAR COOKIE PIES

MAKES 12 SANDWICHES

Cookie pies are my name for those soft, thin, melt-in-your-mouth kind of sandwich cookies. My yiayia (grandma in Greek) used to bring me a similar-style cookie from her favorite grocery bakery. When she walked in the door with a brown bag in her hand, I knew I was in for a treat! These will always be a favorite of mine.

DOUGH

½ cup (113 g) salted butter, softened

1 cup (226 g) packed dark brown sugar

½ cup (118 ml) milk

2 cups (255 g) all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon fine sea salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

FILLING

2 cups (284 g) powdered sugar, sifted

4 tablespoons salted butter, softened

2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

TO MAKE THE DOUGH: In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter and brown sugar. Mix on low until combined and there are no chunks of butter.

Add the milk, flour, sea salt, and baking soda in that order. Mix on low until combined into a stiff dough.

Using your hands, form the dough into 24 balls and place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Flatten them slightly so they are about 2 inches in diameter.

Bake for 11 to 14 minutes, until the tops look cracked and set. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets.

TO MAKE THE FILLING: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the powdered sugar, butter, and milk. Mix on low until combined, then speed up the mixer to high and mix for 1 minute, or until light and fluffy.

Using a spatula or knife, top every other cookie with the filling and sandwich two of them together.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
