butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option with a similar texture.

dulce de leche

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: caramel sauce

Honey offers a natural sweetness, while caramel sauce is more accessible.

Place room temperature margarine in a bowl.

Add sugar to the margarine and cream them together.

Optionally add a bit of vanilla or lemon zest while creaming.

Incorporate egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition until all three are added.

Sift together cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing carefully to avoid a gummy texture.

Once combined, the mixture will have a sandy texture; be patient and avoid overmixing.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and flatten it slightly, then refrigerate for a minimum of a couple of hours or overnight.

After chilling, remove the dough from the plastic wrap and divide it into portions as needed.

Dust the work surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking and roll out the dough gently.

Cut out circles using a cookie cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Gather any leftover dough without kneading it and roll it out again to cut more circles.

Refrigerate the cut cookies for 30 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).

Bake the cookies for 14 minutes, ensuring they do not brown too much to keep them soft.

Once cooled, spread dulce de leche between two cookies and optionally dust with powdered sugar.
