butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a unique flavor.

dulce de leche

🥗Healthier: caramel sauce

💰Cheaper: sweetened condensed milk

Caramel sauce is easier to find and can mimic the sweetness.

Combine 180 grams of cornstarch, 180 grams of powdered sugar, and 250 grams of butter in a bowl.

Use your fingers to mix the butter until it resembles small pieces.

Add 1 teaspoon of toasted anise and mix it in.

Gather the mixture without kneading to avoid gluten formation, forming a ball.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

After chilling, divide the dough in half and roll it out to about 3 millimeters thick.

Use a 4.5 cm cookie cutter to cut out shapes, placing them on a baking sheet without greasing.

Prick the cookies with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden.

Let the cookies rest for 15 minutes after baking.

Fill with dulce de leche using a piping bag or a small spatula.

Optionally, roll the larger cookies in shredded coconut after filling.
