Preparation

Step 1

Cream together butter and sugar; add egg and flour and mix well.
In scant teaspoonfuls, drop onto a cookie sheet. Pat with a floured finger into very thin 1.5-inch circles.
Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until just starting to brown around edges.
Sandwich two cookies together with dulche de leche.

Dulche de leche:

Combine the milk, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds in a large, 4-quart saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the baking soda and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered at a bare simmer. Stir occasionally, but do not re-incorporate the foam that appears on the top of the mixture. Continue to cook for 1 hour. Remove the vanilla bean after 1 hour and continue to cook until the mixture is a dark caramel color and has reduced to about 1 cup, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to a month.
