Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups corn starch, sifted
⅔ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons fresh milk (if necessary)
1 can dulce de leche - 14-ounce size
Confectioner’s sugar, for dusting
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Beat the eggs with the sugar at medium speed, for 3 minutes; add the butter and continue beating. Stop the mixer.
Add the corn starch in three parts, using a spatula, then knead lightly with your hand until the dough is no longer sticky. If the dough feels dry add the milk.
On a floured counter or large wooden cutting board, roll out dough with a floured rolling pin very thin layer, about a ⅛ inch.
Cut the dough with round cookie cutters. If you don’t have cookie cutters, be creative. You can use the top of a glass or cup, which will make slightly bigger alfajores.
Transfer cookies to ungreased baking sheet with a thin metal spatula.
Bake for 8 minutes.
Completely cool the cookies on racks. When cool, frost one with a teaspoon dulce de leche. Place another cookie on top, like a sandwich, and sift the confectioner’s sugar over the alfajores.
Serve at once with a glass of milk, coffee, tea, or with ice cream!
