Alfajores are a beloved South American treat, consisting of two delicate shortbread-like cookies sandwiched together with dulce de leche and often rolled in coconut. These melt-in-your-mouth cookies are rich, buttery, and perfectly complemented by the creamy caramel filling. A popular confection in countries like Argentina, Peru, and Uruguay, Alfajores are perfect for special occasions, afternoon tea, or as a sweet indulgence any time of day.
