Dulce de Leche Besito Cookies

Cultural Context

Dulce de Leche Besito Cookies are a beloved treat in Venezuela, often enjoyed during festive occasions and family gatherings. These cookies are characterized by their rich, sweet filling of dulce de leche, a traditional caramel-like sauce made from sweetened milk. The name 'besito' translates to 'little kiss,' reflecting the cookie's delightful bite-sized nature. While they are a staple in Venezuelan households, variations can be found across Latin America, showcasing the region's love for sweet confections.
