Preparation of Argentine alfajores

To make Argentine alfajores we must start by making some cornstarch alfajores. Preheat the oven to 180 ° and sift all the powdered ingredients: flour, cornstarch, baking powder and baking soda. Reservation.
In a bowl mix the butter or margarine at room temperature with the sugar and beat until both ingredients are well integrated and a creamy mixture is formed. Then, add the egg yolks one by one and continue beating. Then add the lemon zest.
Then you should pour the mixture from the bowl on a floured flat surface and gradually add the previously sifted powdered ingredients. Incorporate the flour into the mixture using your hands, but without kneading.
The idea is to form a kind of wet sand, which will help us achieve that brittle texture of alfajores. Reserve the dough for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator and place it back on the floured surface. With the help of a rolling pin, spread the dough until it is 1/2 cm thick.
Cut circles of at least 4 cm in diameter, if you use a cookie cutter it will be much easier and the circles will all be the same size.
Prepare a baking sheet and grease it with butter and a little flour. Add the dough circles and bake for 12 minutes or until you notice that the base of the circle begins to brown. Take the preparation out of the oven, let it cool and reserve.
Now it is the turn to make the chocolate alfajores: Sift all the powdered ingredients and reserve. Then, in a bowl, add the previously grated chocolate and the powdered ingredients and mix.
Add the egg yolks, the icing sugar and the melted butter one by one. Stir until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Let the chocolate alfajores dough rest for 12 minutes. Then, place it on a floured flat surface (for example a table) and with the help of the rolling pin, spread the dough until it reaches 1/2 cm thick.
Cut circles of 4 cm in diameter and place them on a previously floured baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes, then remove from the oven and let rest until cool.
Now is the turn to assemble our Argentine alfajores! To do this, take a cornstarch alfajor and spread a little dulce de leche. Then, place a circle of chocolate gingerbread on top. When you have made your Argentine alfajor, apply a little more dulce de leche on the edges of both lids and sprinkle with grated coconut to taste.
Repeat the procedure until all your Argentine alfajores are formed, serve on a tray and accompany with a hot cup of frothy coffee with milk. Enjoy!
