Description

Ingredients

• 1 sticks + 2 Tbsp salted butter (room temperature)
• 2 cups flour
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 (13.4oz) can dulce de leche
• Confectioners sugar

Directions

• Pre heat your over to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the butter, the flour and the sugar and mix everything together, using your hands, until a dough forms. Continue working the dough until it is smooth and doesnt stick to your hands anymore.
• Once the dough is ready, form a ball and then flatten it slightly into a thick disc. Cut the disc into 4 equal parts.
• Roll each part into a ball again and then roll the ball into a skinny log. Using a knife, cut the log into 18 equal parts and make little balls. (You could also roll the entire dough to ¼ thick and use a 2 cookie cutter to cut the cookies. However, they will be thinner that way.)
• Add the little balls to baking sheets lined with parchment paper and, using your thumb, flatten the balls slightly.
• Bake your cookies for 15 minutes or until the bottom starts developing a golden color. (They will still be soft on the top! Dont worry!)
• Let the cookies cool and set for at least 30 minutes.
• Add the desired amount of dulce de leche to half of the cookies and sandwich them with the remaining cookies.
• Finally, roll the cookies in confectioners sugar.
