Cookie Sandwiches with Dulce de Leche and Almonds
Ingredientes
- 40 grs of roasted processed almonds
- 250 grs all-purpose flour
- 190 grs unsalted butter, softened
- 40 grs powder sugar
- 50 grs white sugar
- 1 Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk
Instrucciones
- In a bowl, mix the flour and almonds. Reserve.
- Beat the butter on medium-low speed. Add both powder and white sugar and salt. Mix. Add the vanilla and the egg yolk and beat for 1 more minute.
- Add the flour-almond mixture in batches. Turn onto the countertop and shape the dough into a ball. This is a soft dough, but you can add 1 tbsp extra flour if needed.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and chill for at least an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C/340°F. Cut out the cookies with a cookie cutter and place them apart on a greased and floured baking sheet (or lined with parchment paper).
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until they are slightly browned around the edges. Let them cool, fill them with dulce de leche and form the sandwiches.

Tips:
- To roast the almonds, pop them in a preheated oven at 340°F for 10 minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Let them cool.
- To cut out the cookies without breaking them up, dip the cutter in flour first so that they loosen more easily.
- To reuse the scraps of dough, chill them for 5 minutes before rolling them out again.
