Aa traditional confection that is found in some regions of Spain and in countries of Latin America including Chile'. The name Alfajores is arabic in origin. Its basic form consists of two round sweet biscuits joined together with dulce de leche or jam and covered with powdered ...sugar. In most alfajores there are two layers of cake, and a filling in between. I got this recipe from my friend, Antonella Conte' Perez in Santiago Chile. I made these with two layers and dulce de leche and powdered sugar.

I can not imagine a Christmas without these buttery little tastes of goodness. You will need a cookie press to make these.
