How to Make Alfajores

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛ inch thickness. Use a 2-3 inch cookie cutter to cut out circles.
6. Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
8. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
9. Once cooled, spread a generous layer of dulce de leche onto one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
10. Dust with powdered sugar or roll the edges in shredded coconut for an extra touch of sweetness and texture.
