Ingredients
The following ingredients have 12 Servings
- 2 cups dulce de leche
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instruction
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and butter and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg yolks and vanilla and beat to combine.
- Add flour mixture and mix on low, until just incorporated.
- Divide dough in half and roll each piece into a log about 1 1/2 inches thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until firm, at least 1 hour.
- When chilled, unwrap dough and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place on prepared baking sheets at least 1/2-inch apart.
- Bake until cookies are firm to the touch and pale golden on the bottom, about 10-12 minutes. (The cookies should be pale on the top.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Flip half of the cookies over and spread with dulce de leche. (You can also use a piping bag if you prefer.) Place a second cookie on top and gently press down.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
