DANDY-DO COOKIES

1. Preparation:
   • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and arrange Ritz crackers in a single layer.
2. Making the Caramel Sauce:
   • In a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar.
   • Cook the mixture over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens and turns golden brown.
3. Adding Milk and Peanuts:
   • Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the milk, and optionally, vanilla extract, and chopped peanuts until the mixture is smooth.
   • Cook for an additional minute, then remove the saucepan from the heat.
4. Assembling the Cookies:
   • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to top each Ritz cracker with a dollop of the caramel mixture. Ensure the crackers are evenly coated.
5. Allowing to Cool:
   • Allow the cookies to fully cool on the parchment-lined cookie sheet. The caramel will set as it cools.
6. Storing:
   • Once cooled, transfer the Dandy-Do Cookies to an airtight container for storage.

Note:

• For added crunch and flavor, you can sprinkle chopped peanuts over the caramel mixture on each cookie before it cools.
• The addition of vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the caramel sauce, but it’s optional if you prefer a simpler taste.

Enjoy your delightful Dandy-Do Cookies as a quick and delicious treat for any occasion!
