Dulce de Leche Cookies

I made these for a fiesta themed baby shower for a co-worker.

Super simple and kid of addicting.

Ingredients:

• Betty Crocker 17.5 oz Sugar Cookie Mix
• 1 stick of Butter
• 1 Tablespoon of Flour
• 1 Egg
• 1 can of La Lechera (Dulce de Leche)

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make sugar cookies following directions for "cutout cookies".  The extra flour helps to stabilize the dough so it doesn't spread out too much as it bakes.  Scoop dough with a small scooper and additionally hand roll before placing on baking sheet
3. Bake for about 6 minutes or until set.
4. Allow to cool.
5. Using a small spoon to scoop Dulce de Leche, assemble sandwich cookies.
6. You'll have extra filling left over in the can...to eat with a spoon....

1. Boil the macaroni in water for six minutes. Drain.
2. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.
3. In slow cooker, combine cheese mixture, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper. Add the drained macaroni and stir again.
