Praline Sandwich Cookies

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a fan-assisted oven for even baking.

2. 2

   Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.

   Tip: Make sure to sift the flour for an even texture.

3. 3

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

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for this step.

4. 4

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

   Tip: Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and praline paste.

   Tip: Don't overmix the cream mixture.

6. 6

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix the dough.

7. 7

   Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.

   Tip: Chill the dough for 10 minutes for easier handling.

8. 8

   Roll each ball into a thin circle and place on the prepared baking tray.

   Tip: Leave about 2 cm of space between each cookie.

9. 9

   Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

   Tip: Don't overbake, as the cookies can become dry.

10. 10

    Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    Tip: Let the cookies cool completely before sandwiching them together.

11. 11

    Once the cookies are cool, spread a layer of praline paste on one half of each cookie.

    Tip: Use a piping bag or a knife to spread the paste evenly.
