Alfajores
"Alfajores are soft, delicate cookies from South America made, surprisingly, with cornstarch. The cornstarch gives the dough a smooth, satiny texture that makes it a dream to work with and produces a tender, crumbly cookie. Creamy Dulce de Leche holds the cookies together. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can take these to the next level by rolling the edges of the finished cookies in flaked coconut or covering them in chocolate. Special equipment: A plain or fluted 2-inch round cutter is needed to portion out the dough. This recipe was featured as part of our Argentine Grilling menu...."
