About Small alfajor

Small Alfajores are a traditional Latin American sweet treat, originating from Spain and popularized in countries like Argentina, Peru, and Uruguay. These bite-sized confections consist of two soft, buttery cookies made from a blend of flour, cornstarch, sugar, and butter, with a rich and creamy dulce de leche filling sandwiched in between. Often coated in powdered sugar or shredded coconut, their delicate texture and sweet flavor make them an irresistible snack. While Small Alfajores are not particularly low in calories or fats due to their buttery dough and dulce de leche, they can be enjoyed as a delightful indulgence in moderation. They’re a wonderful option for satisfying a sweet tooth or as a celebratory dessert, especially paired with coffee or tea. Rich in tradition and flavor, Alfajores embody the sweetness of Latin American culinary heritage.
