Alfajores — Argentine recipe
Alfajores, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Alfajores

Two pale, crumbly cornstarch cookies with dulce de leche between them and coconut around the edge. The dough has more cornstarch than flour, which is what makes them collapse the moment they hit your mouth, and they are better the day after you make them.
