White Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

4. 4

   Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

5. 5

   Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

   Tip: The dough should still be slightly crumbly.

6. 6

   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

7. 7

   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 5mm (1/4 inch). Cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter.

   Tip: You can also use a glass or a knife to cut the cookies.

8. 8

   Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.

   Tip: Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes to avoid overcooking.

9. 9

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

10. 10

    Once the cookies are cool, sandwich a spoonful of white chocolate chips between two cookies.

    Tip: You can also melt the white chocolate and dip the cookies in it for a more indulgent treat.

11. 11

    Dust the cookies with confectioners' sugar and sprinkle with ground almonds, if desired.
