Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
⏱ 5 min - 2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
⏱ 3 min - 3
Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
⏱ 1 min - 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
⏱ 1 min - 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined and a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
⏱ 2 min - 6
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a small round cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter) to cut out cookies. Carefully transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet.
⏱ 5 min - 7
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
⏱ 12 min - 8
Once completely cooled, spread a tablespoon of thick caramel sauce onto the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, gently pressing them together to form sandwiches.
