Alfajores

The students of Spanish 4 enjoyed "alfajores" in class. This is a traditional cookie from Uruguay... A lot of the students asked for the recipe, so here it is...

6.5 oz butter
8 oz sugar
6 yolks
1 lime (grate the skin)
13 oz flour
7 oz corn starch
2 tsps yeast

Filling: "dulce de leche"

Shredded coconut for decoration.

Mix the ingredients, spread and cut the cookies in small circles. Spread oil in a cookie sheet and put the cookies on it. Put it in the oven until they are golden brown. (350 degrees)

Put the filling between 2 cookies when they are cold. Roll the cookie on the coconut.
Enjoy!
