Melt-In-Your-Mouth South American Alfajores

If you haven’t had alfajores before, I am so excited to introduce you to this popular South American cookie! This sandwich cookie’s flavors are absolutely delicious (you can never go wrong with dulce de leche ), but you won’t believe how fantastic the texture is!

These homemade alfajores are tender I’m talking super delicate, soft, and crumbly. On the inside, there is sweet, caramelly dulce de leche.

These alfajores are made the Argentinan way, which means the cookie batter is made with corn starch, and the sides are rolled in shredded coconut. That little hint of coconut does something magical to this cookie. Even if you’re not a big coconut fan, the added texture and flavor is out of this world!
