About Alfajores cookie
Alfajores cookies are a beloved treat originating from South America, particularly popular in Argentina, Peru, and Chile. These soft and crumbly sandwich cookies are typically made with a delicate mixture of flour, cornstarch, butter, and powdered sugar, filled with creamy dulce de leche, and often rolled in shredded coconut or dusted with powdered sugar. While their melt-in-your-mouth texture makes them irresistible, Alfajores are indulgent due to their rich buttery dough and sweet caramel filling. They are high in sugar and calories, making them a dessert best enjoyed in moderation. Traditional recipes are not particularly high in fiber or protein, but some variations incorporate healthier ingredients like almond flour or honey. Despite their decadent profile, Alfajores are celebrated as a special treat and embody the culinary craftsmanship of South American dessert traditions.
