These caramel cookie sandwiches bring back memories of the treats my aunt used to make in Guadalajara, which my father would bring home.

Molly first encountered gooey butter cake while visiting a close high school friend in St. Louis, the city where the dessert originated. Although it's typically made from a boxed mix, Molly prefers her own quick vanilla cake recipe and then coats the gooey portions in nonpareils for a fun touch. The cream cheese and lemon in the recipe balance the butter and keep the cake from becoming excessively sweet and rich.
