Traditional Alfajores
$30.00
An Alfajor is a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth sandwich cookie made by layering two buttery, crumbly shortbread-like cookies—typically made with flour, cornstarch, and a touch of vanilla—around a rich filling of manjar blanco, a caramel-like spread similar to
dulce de leche.
Once assembled, the alfajor is usually dusted generously with powdered sugar, giving it a soft, snowy finish.
