I just bought my first jar of Pralinutta (YUM!) and to keep from eating it straight out of the jar I came up with this yummy combo! I have a container of them in the freezer ready for Christmas parties!
Shortbread Cookies:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup powdered (confectioners or icing) sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Shortbreads: In a separate bowl whisk the flour with the salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream the butter until smooth (about 1 minute). Add the sugar and beat until smooth (about 2 minutes). Beat in the vanilla extract. Gently stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated. Flatten the dough into a disk shape, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill the dough for at least an hour.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill until firm about an hour. roll into log and slice into 1/4inch slices about the size of a quarter. Bake about 5-7 min until very lightly brown. cool and spread a small amount of Pralinutta and top with another cookie. Then hide from yourself because you will want to eat them all!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees with the rack in the middle of the oven. Spray two baking sheets. They don't spread very much so you can load the baking sheet up!
Shortbread with keep in an airtight container for about a week or frozen for several months.
