These gluten-free sandwich cookie treats are very popular in Latin cultures, simply made with cornstarch and filled with dulce de leche.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups cornstarch
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (11.5 ounce) jar dulce de leche
- ½ cup shredded coconut
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Whisk cornstarch, flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.
Step 3
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Whisk in egg yolks, one at a time, until well combined. Add lemon zest and vanilla extract with the last egg. Fold into flour mixture with a spoon, mixing until dough holds together and turns into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 4
Roll out dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut cookies with a small round cookie cutter and place on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until set but not browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove immediately to cool on a wire rack.
Step 6
Spread underside of a cookie with 1 teaspoon dulce de leche. Sandwich together with another cookie until filling comes out on the sides. Roll sides in the shredded coconut.
