Alfajores

A friend from Paraguay once made me some cookies. It was after I started this blog, but before I thought about posting things I hadn't made myself. And thus I didn't photograph them. Or maybe it was because I ate them all too fast. Who could say?

They were delicious little things, smaller than the ones pictured. Very light and crumbly, somewhere between shortbread and a sugar cookie, with sweet delicious dulce de leche holding them together, and then rolled in desiccated coconut.
