Ingredients

6 servings
  • 300 g All purpose flour
  • 200 g Cornstarch

    Suggested swaps

    Arrowroot powder · 1:1 ratio — Works the same as thickener; freezes better
  • 200 g Butter

    Suggested swaps

    Coconut oil · 1:1 ratio — Works well in baking; adds slight coconut flavor
    Olive oil · 3:4 ratio — Use ¾ cup oil per 1 cup butter; best for savory dishes
  • 100 g Sugar

    Suggested swaps

    Honey · 3:4 ratio — Use ¾ cup honey per 1 cup sugar; reduce other liquids slightly
    Maple syrup · 3:4 ratio — Use ¾ cup per 1 cup sugar; adds distinctive flavor
  • 2 whole Egg Yolks
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 whole Dulce de leche
  • 1 Sprinkling Desiccated Coconut

Instructions

1

Make the Dough: Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolks and lemon zest. Gradually mix in flour and cornstarch to form a dough. Chill for 1 hour.

2

Bake the Cookies: Roll out the dough, cut into circles, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes. Let cool.

3

Assemble: Spread dulce de leche on one cookie, then sandwich with another. Roll the edges in coconut flakes.

4

Chill the dough before rolling it out to make it easier to handle and to prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.

5

Dip the alfajores in melted chocolate and let them set on a wire rack for an extra decadent treat.
