Use hands to form a sand-like texture with the mixture.

Gather the sand-like dough into spheres.

Place the dough in a bag and knead it by crushing it.

Roll out the dough to half a centimeter thick.

Cut out shapes using molds and remove them with a spatula.

Place the alfajores on a baking sheet without greasing or flouring it.

Prick the dough with a fork if desired to prevent inflation.

Bake in the oven at 170 degrees Celsius for 8 minutes.
