Alfajores are delectable sandwich cookies traditionally hailing from Latin America, particularly Argentina and Peru. These scrumptious treats consist of two crumbly cookies, often made with cornstarch and flavored with vanilla, held together by a luscious layer of dulce de leche. They are typically dusted with powdered sugar, adding a sweet finish to every bite. While indulgent, alfajores can also be made with healthier alternatives, like whole grains and natural sweeteners, making them a delightful yet customizable treat for any occasion. Whether you enjoy them with a cup of coffee or as a snack, alfajores are a rich taste of cultural heritage.
