Vanilla Sandwich Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 2/3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup + 2 tbsp butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 None egg yolks
1 tbsp brandy
1 None vanilla pod, split, with seeds scraped out
1 None lemon, zest only
1 cup sour cream

Preparation

Sift the flour into a bowl with the baking powder and cornmeal. In a separate bowl, blend the butter with a pinch of salt and the sugar, then beat in the egg yolks. Mix in the brandy, vanilla seeds and the lemon zest, then stir into the flour mixture. Using a food processor, mix into a dough. Form into a ball, wrap in cling wrap, then chill for 1 hour.
On a floured work surface, roll out the dough so that it is about 1 inch thick. Using a 2 inch pastry cutter, cut out about 70 discs. Transfer the discs to lined baking sheets and bake in a a preheated oven at 350\u00b0F for 15 mins until light brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Spread 1 tsp of sour cream on the bottom of one cookie, then top with another cookie, flat side in. Repeat with the rest of the cookies. As a variation, substitute prepared caramel sauce for the sour cream.
