Gluten Free Dulce De Leche Alfajores Sandwich Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
* 1 cup gluten free flour blend (such as Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour)
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 egg
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 1/2 cup dulce de leche (store-bought or homemade)
* Optional: chocolate chips or chopped nuts for topping
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients from step 2 to the wet ingredients from step 4, mixing until just combined.
6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
8. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. While the cookies are cooling, spread dulce de leche onto one side of each cookie.
10. Place another cookie on top of the dulce de leche, pressing down gently so that the edges meet.
11. Optional: sprinkle chocolate chips or chopped nuts over the top of the sandwich cookies for extra flavor and texture.
12. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
