How to Make Alfajor De Maicena Cornstarch Alfajor
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cornstarch, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup butter (softened), 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a 2-inch cookie cutter (or a knife) to cut out circles.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; they should remain pale.
- Let the alfajores cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cool, spread a generous layer of dulce de leche onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
