INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🌾 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup sifted confectioners' sugar
    • ¼ cup sifted cornstarch
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🧈 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
    • ¼ cup white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 (11.5 ounce) jar dulce de leche
    • ¼ cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed for dusting

STEPS

1

Mix flour, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl.

2

Beat butter with an electric mixer in a separate bowl until soft and fluffy. Mix in white sugar and vanilla until well combined.

3

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in 3 batches, beating until just blended after each addition. Divide dough in half, roll each half into a log, and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

4

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

5

Slice dough logs into forty-eight 1/4-inch-thick cookies and place onto ungreased baking sheets.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until just starting to turn golden around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.

7

Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute on the baking sheet. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely, 25 to 30 minutes.

8

Use a knife to generously spread dulce de leche onto 1/2 of the cooled cookies. Sandwich remaining cookies on top and place onto a serving tray.

9

Lightly dust finished cookies with remaining confectioners' sugar.
