FOR THE COOKIES
1 cup(s) butter, softened
3/4 cup(s) packed brown sugar
1 - egg yolk
2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
FOR THE BROWNED BUTTER FILLING
2 tablespoon(s) butter
1 1/4 cup(s) powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla
4-5 teaspoon(s) milk

Steps:

In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Shape into 1-in. balls. Place 1-1/2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a fork, forming a crisscross pattern. Bake at 325° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For filling, heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown. Remove from the heat; stir in confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Spread on the bottoms of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies.
