How To Make BESOS or YOYOS ★ Mexican PAN DULCE ★ Easy Recipe! @MexMundoKitchen

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a unique flavor while margarine is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a mixing bowl with a globe attachment, add room temperature butter and sugar, and whip until fluffy and most of the sugar is dissolved.

Add 1 whole egg and 2 egg yolks to the mixture and continue mixing.

Add milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then add to the wet mixture and mix until a smooth dough forms.

Weigh out 40-gram portions of dough and roll them into balls, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each ball.

Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes or until they look slightly golden.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a rack.

In a separate bowl, mix shredded coconut and granulated sugar to create a coating.

In another bowl, mix strawberry jam and room temperature butter until combined to create a second coating.

Once the cookies are cooled, take one cookie, spread strawberry jam on the flat side, and top with another cookie to form a sandwich.

Using a pastry brush, apply the butter and jam mixture on one side of the sandwich, then sprinkle the sugar and coconut mixture on top so it sticks.

Flip the sandwich over and repeat the process on the other side.

Continue this process until all cookies are assembled.
