Dulce de leche sandwich cookies, also known as "alfajores," are a beloved treat originating from South America, particularly popular in Argentina and Peru. These indulgent cookies consist of two buttery shortbread-like biscuits filled with a rich, creamy layer of dulce de leche, a milk-based caramel. The cookies are often coated in powdered sugar or rolled in shredded coconut for added texture and sweetness. While the cookies provide a delightful balance of flavors, they are best enjoyed in moderation due to their high sugar and fat content. The shortbread is made with ingredients like flour, butter, and sugar, while the dulce de leche provides a source of calcium from its milk base. These cookies are a luxurious dessert option, perfect for special occasions or as a cultural treat.
