Alfajor - Dulce de leche Cookie Sandwiches

This recipe really got an alfajor flavor - not as this try. I must confess that I really liked the result, but in the next time I'll reduce the cornstarch to about 150g 'cause the cornstarch flavor it was a little strong and I'll make the dough a little softer - I think I put too much flour so the cookie it was a little dry.
However, I liked so much this recipe and what surprised me was the fact that the alfajors aren't too sweet even with a generous layer of dulce de leche and milk chocolate couverture. Love it!

Alfajor de doce de leite
Recipe from Na Minha Panela.


100g margarine, at room temperature
100g sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
200g cornstarch

200g flour


Filling
150g creamy dulce de leche (we used a homemade dulce de leche)


To Dip
150g couverture milk chocolate 

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F.

2. In a bowl, cream the margarine and sugar using a fork until is pale and fluffy. Add the eggs and mix well. Fold in the cornstarch and baking powder. Gradually add flour. You don't need to add all the flour, the dough must to be very soft, easy to stick on hands.

3. Roll out the dough between two plastics and cut with a round cutter. Place the cookies on a lined with waxed paper cookie sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes. The cookies doesn't must to brown. When they are set with a golden brown base remove from oven. Let cool a little and fill with dulce de leche each cookie pair.

4. Melt the chocolate and dip each alfajor and let set on a waxed paper.

Serve: 15 regular alfajors.
