About Alfajor
An alfajor is a traditional pastry originating in Latin American and Spanish cuisine, beloved for its sweet, indulgent flavor. Typically, it consists of two soft cookies made from flour, butter, and sugar, sandwiched together with a creamy filling like dulce de leche, honey, or fruit jam. Some variations are covered in powdered sugar, chocolate, or coconut flakes. Alfajores are rich in carbohydrates and fats, offering quick energy, but they are also high in sugars, which should be consumed in moderation. While not a nutrient-dense food, their ingredients may provide small amounts of iron, calcium, or vitamins depending on the filling and preparation. Though decadent, they are usually enjoyed as a treat rather than a staple, making them a delightful choice for festivities or a moment of indulgence.
