Argentinian Alfajores with Homemade Dulce de Leche
Alfajores are delicate cookie sandwiches filled with dulce de leche
Ingredients
- 250 grams all purpose flour
- 120 grams corn starch
- 30 grams confectioner's sugar
- 250 grams cold butter (cut into cubs)
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 350 Fahrenheit
- Mix the flour, corn starch and sugar
- add the diced butter and mix well until you form the dough
- At first the mix will be dry and crumbly but keep working the dough until it's soft and uniform
- Roll the dough about 1 inch thick
- cut the cookies with a biscuit cutter
- bake at 350 for 10 minutes
- remove cookies from the oven and let them cool down completely before adding the dulce de leche
- Once cooled down, add a layer of dulce de leche. I like to use a pipping bag for this to avoid pressing too hard on the cookie.
- add the other cookie to form the sandwich and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar
