Sposób przygotowania

1
Line two baking sheets with parchment and heat the oven to 175°C. In a medium bowl, mix the cornstarch, flour, and baking powder until evenly combined.
2
In a separate bowl, mix the softened butter and powdered sugar for 2 to 3 minutes, until smooth and pale. Mix in the egg yolks, vanilla, and brandy until fully incorporated.
3
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in two additions, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Do not knead, or the cookies may become tough.
4
Press the dough into a disk, wrap it, and rest it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, until firm enough to roll without sticking.
5
Roll the chilled dough to about 6 mm thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut 16 rounds with a 6 cm cutter, rerolling scraps once, and place them 2 cm apart on the prepared sheets.
6
Bake one sheet at a time for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops remain pale and the edges are just set. Do not let the bottoms become dark. Cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack and cool completely.

7
Turn half of the cooled cookies flat-side up. Pipe or spoon about 15 g of dulce de leche onto each, leaving a narrow border, then top with the remaining cookies and press gently until the filling reaches the edge.
8
Roll the exposed dulce de leche edges in the desiccated coconut, pressing lightly so it adheres. Rest the finished alfajores for 30 minutes before serving so the filling settles into the crumb.

Dlaczego ten przepis się sprawdza

Cornstarch lightens the short dough and creates the signature delicate crumble, while dulce de leche adds a concentrated caramel center. A brief rest lets the filling soften the cookies slightly without losing their tender bite.
