From Argentina to Peru, step into a neighborhood bakery and you’re likely to find Alfajores in South America – these tender, filled cookies piled high behind the counter. The crumbly bite of shortbread gives way to a sweet layer of dulce de leche – a caramel-like candy made by gently cooking sweetened milk until it turns into a rich, mellow treat.
The very simplicity of the cookies has proved to be the perfect base for creative cooks across Latin America. Try versions that are dunked in dark chocolate, coated in a sweet layer of white chocolate, rolled in coconut, and dressed up with spices, or opt for the classic that makes it one of the most comforting dessert snacks in the world.
