I spotted these on TasteSpotting.com, a great website for cooking inspiration. Don't they look yum!?
Dulce de leche literally means "sweet of milk", and can be found next to condensed milk in the shops. It's pretty much the same but more caramelly.
Here is the recipe I used (translated from American cups, into grams/mls). It differs slightly from other recipes in that, the cookie mixture itself contains Dulce de leche (where as usually it is just the filling).

Ingredients
- 200g unsalted butter, softened
- 64g brown sugar
- 64g caster sugar
- 397g tin of Dulce de leech (Nestle Carnation Caramel)
- 2 eggs
- 340g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Prepare two baking trays with non-stick baking paper
- Put the butter, sugar and half the tin of dulce de leche in a large bowl and mix
- Beat in the eggs
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Sifting the flour if inclined
- Use a piping bag to squeeze the mixture on to the baking tray
- Bake for approx 10 minutes.
- Use the remaining dulce de leche as the fillings for each double cookie.
Tips:
- If you don't have a piping bag, make your own using a sandwich bag with a hole in, or some baking paper rolled into a funnel shape.
- No need to squeeze them out perfectly, as no matter when they look like raw, they always turn out nice and circular.
- Alternate between your two baking trays (One in the oven, whilst you prepare the second batch).
