Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, cream unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

Chill the dough for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.

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

Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Spread dulce de leche on one cookie and sandwich with another cookie.

Roll the edges in coconut flakes if desired.
