INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 ½ cups cornstarch
    • 1 ⅔ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🧈 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 🍚 ¾ cup white sugar
    • 🍋 2 teaspoons lemon zest
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla rum
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ½ teaspoon lemon extract

  • Filling and Toppings

    • 1 (11.5 ounce) jar dulce de leche
    • 🥥 ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

Whisk cornstarch, flour, baking powder, and baking soda together; set aside.

3

Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat in third yolk along with lemon zest, vanilla rum, vanilla extract, and lemon extract.

4

Gently fold in cornstarch mixture with a spoon to form a crumbly dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 to 60 minutes.

5

Roll dough out to about ¼-inch thick. Cut dough using a small round cookie cutter. Place cookies spaced ½-inch apart onto prepared cookie sheets.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until set but not browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer cookies immediately to a wire rack to cool.

7

Spread 1 teaspoon dulce de leche onto the underside of 1 cooled cookie; sandwich with a second cookie. Roll sides in shredded coconut. Repeat with remaining cookies.
