Preparation
-
COOKIES: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy.
Add the egg yolk; blend well.
Add the flour; mix well.
If necessary, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill about 15 minutes for easier handling.
Preheat oven to 325\u00b0F.
Shape dough into 1\" balls; place 2\" apart on ungreased or parchment-lined cookie sheets.
With a fork dipped in flour, flatten each cookie in one direction to a 1 1/2\" round.
Bake for 10-14 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool for 1 minute on the sheets; transfer cookies to wire racks and cool completely.
Meanwhile, make the FROSTING: In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until light golden brown, stirring constantly.
Remove pan from heat; stir in the remaining frosting ingredients, adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency; blend until smooth.
Spread a scant 1 tsp frosting between 2 cooled cookies, flat sides inward.
Store in the refrigerator.
