Praline Palmiers

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a silicone mat for easier cookie removal.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and coconut flakes.

   Tip: Sift the flour for an even texture.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for this step.

4. 4

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

   Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl for an even mix.

5. 5

   Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Scoop the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a tight cylinder.

   Tip: Make sure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent spreading.

7. 7

   Place the cylinders on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

   Tip: Use a toothpick to create a slight indent in the center of each cookie.

8. 8

   Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

   Tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even cooking.

9. 9

   Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

   Tip: Use a wire rack to cool the cookies completely.

10. 10

    While the cookies are cooling, prepare the praline filling according to the package instructions.

    Tip: If making homemade, heat the sugar and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 150°C (300°F).

11. 11

    Spoon the praline filling onto one half of each cookie and top with the other half to create a sandwich.

    Tip: Press the edges gently to seal the filling inside.
