    Utensils Used
    | 1. Cream butter with confectioners' and granulated sugar until fluffy. | 2. Stir in remaining ingredients. | 3. Wrap and chill 30 minutes. | 4. If chilled longer let it warm up until it can be rolled. | 5. Or, whack it with a rolling pin until it cooperates. | 6. Roll dough out to 1/4" thickness, cut in 2 1/2" circles and place on parchment lined cookie sheet. | 7. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes. | 8. Cool cookie sheets between batches. | 9. Cool cookies on wire rack. | 10. Carefully (they're fragile cookies) spread some caramel on one cookie and top with another cookie. | 11. Dust tops with confectioners' sugar and enjoy immediately having a crisp cookie-the way they were meant to be eaten. | 12. They will turn soft after setting. | 13. Alternatively the cookies can be filled with the rewarmed caramel as needed. | 14. Caramel: Pour both cans of condensed milk in the top of a double boiler over simmering water and simmer on very low heat 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. | 15. Eventually the milk will thicken and brown. | 16. Cool well and it will thicken further. | 17. Refrigerate until needed. | 18. Makes enough for 4-5 dozen cookies. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
