- 200 g Cornstarch
- 200 g Butter
- 100 g Sugar
- 2 Egg Yolks
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- Dulce de leche
- Sprinkling Desiccated Coconut
Instructions
- 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.
- Bake the Cookies: Roll out the dough, cut into circles, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes. Let cool.
- Assemble: Spread dulce de leche on one cookie, then sandwich with another. Roll the edges in coconut flakes.
- Pro Tips:
- Chill the dough before rolling it out to make it easier to handle and to prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
- Dip the alfajores in melted chocolate and let them set on a wire rack for an extra decadent treat.
