Ingredients:
Egg yolks, 5
Egg, 1
Ground sugar, 200 g
Melted and cooled butter, 150 g
Zest of 1 lemon
Corn starch (Maizena), 350 g
Flour, 150 g
Baking powder, 2 teaspoons
Dulce de leche, as needed
Grated coconut, as needed
Prepared:
-Beat the egg yolks and whole egg with the sugar using a mixer until very frothy. Add the butter and lemon zest, and mix.
-Add the sifted flours and mix.
-Cut out the alfajores with a cookie cutter about 3 to 4 cm in diameter, dusting it with flour so the dough doesn't stick. Place the dough discs on greased baking sheets, slightly separated from each other, as they will expand when baking.
-Bake them at a moderate temperature (180 °C) for 9 minutes in the center of the oven.
-Let the discs cool on a wire rack, then sandwich them together in pairs with dulce de leche in the middle. Roll them in shredded coconut.
