Chilean Alfajores are a traditional sweet cookie. Especially during Independence celebrations, family fiestas or Christmas people in Chile will make these. THE most delicious part is the filling, which is made of ‘dulce de leche’, ‘huevo mol’ or ‘molasses paste’. To not make it too difícil we’ll l go for dulce de leche – caramel paste.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to or 180C.
- Put flour in a large bowl.
- Add the egg yolks and work with a fork or your hands to form crumbs.

- Form a dough, add water if necessary, one teaspoon at a time.
- Knead to a smooth dough, about 10 minutes.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest, refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
- Roll thin and cut the Alfajores, prick with a fork, bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
