Ingredients:
- For the Ginger Cookies:
- - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- - 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- - 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- - 1/4 teaspoon salt
- - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- - 1/4 cup molasses
- - 1 egg
- For the Caramel Buttercream:
- - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- - 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- - 2 cups powdered sugar
- - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- - Pinch of salt
Instructions:
To make the ginger cookies, heat the oven to 350F 175C
Mix the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl using a whisk
On a different large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy
Add the egg and molasses and beat until well mixed
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix them together until they are just combined
Make little balls out of the dough and put them on a baking sheet that has parchment paper on it
With the bottom of a glass or a fork, make each ball a little flatter
For 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges start to turn a little golden
For a few minutes, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet
Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely
To make the caramel buttercream, soften the butter and beat it in a bowl until it is smooth
Slowly add the vanilla extract and caramel sauce, mixing well after each addition
Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time while beating the buttercream until it is smooth and fluffy
Add a little salt and mix everything together
Putting the Sandwiches Together: Put the ginger cookies together by size and shape
Cover the flat side of one cookie with a thick layer of caramel buttercream
To make a sandwich, carefully press a second cookie on top
Do it again with the rest of the buttercream and cookies
Put the ginger cookie sandwiches out and enjoy them
