Praline Dacquoise: Easy daily bake!

 When I think about baking, I always think about the person that I bake for ^^, well it makes me happy.


Like this Praline Dacquoise, I baked it for my sister. This cookie contains all things she loves, buttercream, meringue base cookies and praline.
Dacquoise is very easy to make, if you like the taste of macaron, you will love it too, for me I love the firm texture of the cookie. The method is the same as the macaron, but it contains more almond powder, and you don't have to afraid about over folding. There are many flavor s that you can make, I make pistachio and green tea before, this one the cookie is plain but the flavor is in the buttercream. For the praline paste, if you can buy it, it will be easy ^^, but you can make it by yourself too, just following the method, here.
Because of the richness of the buttercream, I think serve it with a cup of hot drink will be great, if you keep them in the fridge, place it at room temperature for 10-15 minutes so the buttercream will be soften.
