ALFAJORES ARGENTINEAN STYLE
This is a traditional cookie that is much loved in most Latin cultures. Even my mother in law says they're the BEST, and that is saying a lot considering she is from Mendoza, Argentina!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, allowing each yolk to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla rum, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and lemon zest with the last egg. Gently fold in the flour mixture with a spoon, making a crumbly dough. When the dough becomes cohesive enough, press it together into a ball with your hands. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough, using as little flour as possible, about 1/4 inch thick. The dough will have an unusual consistency. Cut with a small round cookie cutter. Continue pressing the dough together, rolling it out, and cutting until you have used it all. Place cookies 1/2 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set but not browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies immediately to cool on a wire rack.
- Spread the underside of a cooled cookie with a teaspoon of dulce de leche, then sandwich together with another cookie until the caramel oozes out the sides. Roll the sides in the shredded coconut.

20 TRADITIONAL ARGENTINIAN DESSERTS - INSANELY GOOD RECIPES
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (5)Published 2021-01-21Category Desserts, Recipe Roundup
- Alfajores Recipe. You’ll find these super popular cookies all over Latin America. They’re buttery shortbread-like cookies that are wonderful by themselves.
- Chocotorta. This Argentinian icebox cake is one impressive dessert. Between the soaked cookies and layers of dulce de leche, it’s incredibly rich. Once the dulce de leche is mixed with cream cheese, it makes a silky smooth cheesecake-like filling that you’ll want to eat right out of the bowl.
- Homemade Dulce de Leche. You’ll notice as you go through this list that dulce de leche appears quite often. It’s found in many Latin American desserts, which is why I love them so much!
- Flan. This caramel custard is found at most, if not all, celebrations in Argentina. It’s classic, humble, and is even better with a dollop of dulce de leche.
- Pionono Relleno con Dulce de Leche. You’ll recognize this as a “jelly-roll” or “Swiss roll” cake. It comprises a light sponge rolled up with a filling.
- Medialunas and Vigilantes (Croissant-style Pastries) Made in the same way as the traditional croissant, the medialunas and vigilantes are egg-washed and brushed with a sugar glaze after cooking.
- How to Make Café Con Leche (Coffee With Milk) One thing you should know how to pronounce when going to a Spanish speaking country is café con leche – caffay-con-lechay.
- Coconut & Dulce De Leche Tart. This tart is as pretty as it is delicious. The combination of crunchy toasted coconut and creamy dulce de leche is perfection!
- Dulce de Leche Ice Cream. I know buying an ice cream maker might seem like a frivolous investment, but once you’ve seen how easy it is to make great homemade ice cream, you’ll never look back.
- Dulce de Leche Crepes. The key to making the perfect crepes is to allow the batter to rest. It can be as little as 30 minutes, or you could make it before bed to rest overnight.
