How to do alfajores
Preheated the oven at 350 ° F. In a large bowl mix the butter and icing sugar. Add the flour, corn starch and vanilla extract, then mix with well -combined hands. Knead together to form a soft dough. Cover with a plastic wrap and leave to rest for 10-15 minutes.
Transform the dough into a floured counter and knead for about 2 minutes. Spread at about ¼ inch and cut the biscuits with a round biscuit cutter.
Put them on a biscuit pan and cook for about 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a grid for 10 minutes. In a small dish, place the flakeed coconut and set aside.
Distribute Area or Dulce de leche on each biscuit, then put two biscuits together, making a sandwich with the space in the middle of the two biscuits. When you put the biscuits together, you will want that a little area will come out on the sides. Take the plate with the coconut and cover the edges of each alfajor biscuit with it, rolling the edge of the biscuit in the flakeed coconut if you use. Sprinkle them with icing sugar and have fun.
