Alfajores de Maizena with Annette

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option while maintaining texture.

dulce de leche

🥗Healthier: caramel sauce

💰Cheaper: sweetened condensed milk

Sweetened condensed milk is often more accessible and cheaper.

Beat together 250 grams of butter and 150 grams of sugar until creamy.

Add 3 egg yolks and mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine 200 grams of flour and 300 grams of corn flour.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, kneading with hands as it gets stiff.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface.

Cut out circles using a smaller cookie cutter.

Place the circles on a baking dish, ensuring they are spaced apart.

Bake in the oven for 8 to 9 minutes until lightly golden.

Spread dulce de leche on one cookie and sandwich with another, slightly squishing them together so the filling comes out the sides.

Coat the sides with shredded coconut.
