Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl; set aside.
Aproximativ 2 min.
2
In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Aproximativ 5 min.
3
Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Aproximativ 2 min.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to overmix the dough.
5
Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it slightly, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Aproximativ 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll and prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
6
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Aproximativ 10 min.
7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Aproximativ 3 min.
8
Cut out circles using a 1 1/2 to 2-inch round cookie cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: You can re-roll dough scraps once or twice.
9
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers are still pale.
Aproximativ 12 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not overbake them; they should remain soft.
10
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Aproximativ 15 min.
11
Once cool, spread a generous amount of dulce de leche on the flat side of one cookie.
Aproximativ 5 min.
12
Top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
13
Roll the edges of the filled alfajores in shredded coconut.
Aproximativ 5 min.
