Ingredients:
- filling
- use a filling of your choice. it may be arequipe (milky caramel spread), chocolate cream, quince jelly (or other flavor), pastry cream, etc.
Directions:
- Cream butter, sugar, and lemon rind with an electric mixer (using flat beaters), until completely smooth. Add egg yolks one at a time. Beat well after each addition, adding another yolk just after the previous one is well mixed into the batter. Finely sift cornstarch, flour, soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
- Mix the batter well and then knead until soft and smooth. Sprinkle cornstarch over a pastry table and roll dough to 0.20 inches thickness. Cut out dough with a round cookie cutter.
- Transfer dough rounds to a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet (do not use butter) and bake at medium heat until golden brown.
- Let cool at room temperature. When cooled, spread filling onto one cookie and cover with another.
- For a topping to finish, prepare a confectioners’ sugar glaze to coat the filled alfajores. You can also dip them into a rich chocolate cream coating that hardens when cooled. This coating is especially good for alfajores filled with arequipe.
