Dulcey Sable Sandwich (Caramel Sandwich Cookies)
Dulcey Sable Sandwich are caramel-flavored cookies made with a buttery almond sable dough and filled with Valrhona Dulcey ganache, a creamy caramel-chocolate mixture. The dough is rolled thin, cut into rounds, and baked between perforated mats to ensure an even, crisp texture. After cooling, the sable rounds are paired with a smooth, rich dulcey ganache that adds a sweet, velvety filling, making these cookies a refined treat blending crispness and softness.
