Argentina First Stop~

                     ~Alfajores~

        Delectably. Delicious. Cookies.

First stop on my culinary adventures in Argentina are Alfajores. They are a sandwhich cookie or biscuit, depending on who you might ask,that is filled with delectables such as chocolate, merrainge, icing, jam or dulce de leche. They can also be filled and then dipped in chocolate or dusted with powdered sugar. They are a culinary treat that is eaten any time of day and are most often enjoyed with coffee or tea. 

So as my first stop in exploring the culinary delights of Argentina I decided to make some for us to try with the Dulce de leche that came in our Try The World box.

                       ~Alfajores~

Cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg yolks and beat 3 minutes. Now carefully add the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. Next~

                          ~Next~

Cool the cookies on a wire rack. Once they are cool you can fill them with a teaspoon or so of the dulce de leche. then roll the edges in the coconut flakes. Then can also be filled and then dipped and covered in choclate. I opted to just roll them in the coconut flakes. The were simply. Fabulously. Ridiculously. Over the top good. You are going to want to try these. Soon. Real. Soon.

 

This is fabulously good dulce de leche that we got in our  

Try The World box. It is simply

~~~~~~~~~~DELICIOSO!~~~~~~~~~~
