alfajores
3/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
salt
110 g butter
2 egg yolks
vanilla extract
½ can of dulce de leche
powdered sugar
mix the dry ingredients in a bowl
beat the butter with sugar until white and fluffy, then mix in the egg yolkd and a splash of vanilla extract
add the dry ingredients and mix in carefully until the dough is smooth
place in a fridge for 2 hours or in a freezer for half an hour
roll the dough into 1/2 cm (1/4”) thickness on lightly floured surface
ct out the cookies with round cutter (I used 4 cm (1,5”) diameter and got 28 cookies)
bake for 8-10 minutes on 180C, until the edges are starting to turn golden – the cookies should be pale, don’t overbake them
cool completely before filling with dulce de leche and dusting with powdered sugar
they look delish!
