Ingredients

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup sifted cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (11.5 ounce) jar dulce de leche
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed for dusting

Method

  • Mix flour, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl. Place butter in a separate bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until soft and fluffy. Add white sugar and vanilla and mix well.
  • Add flour mixture to the bowl with the butter mixture in 3 stages; mix until just blended. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a log. Refrigerate dough logs until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Slice dough logs into 1/4-inch cookies and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until just starting to turn golden around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 1 minute. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely, about 30 minutes more.
  • Use a knife to apply a generous amount of dulce de leche on one cookie. Sandwich another cookie on top and place on a serving tray. Repeat with remaining cookies and dulce de leche. Lightly dust finished cookies with confectioners' sugar.
