About A small alfajor
An alfajor is a traditional South American confection, typically originating from Argentina, Uruguay, and other parts of Latin America. A small alfajor consists of two soft shortbread-like cookies, sandwiching a layer of dulce de leche, and often coated in powdered sugar, chocolate, or coconut. Its key ingredients include flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and milk, along with the sweet, creamy filling of caramelized milk. While the flavor is rich and indulgent, alfajores are high in sugar and saturated fats due to their filling and buttery cookies, making them a treat best enjoyed in moderation. However, their smaller size provides a portion-controlled indulgence, allowing for satisfaction without overconsumption. Alfajores capture the essence of Latin American dessert traditions and can be a delightful occasional addition to your diet, particularly paired with coffee or tea.
