Maicena alfajores with dulce de leche


Im not always sure of what I want to cook or bake. I suddenly get an adrenaline rush that calls me to the kitchen but I need to browse through my cookbooks, magazines or bookmarks in order to look for inspirations. Other times I just look to my side and ask Tommy, who´s always willing to make a suggestion that I usually turn into smething else... Well, today was a different story, for when he said "alfajores" I immediately wanted to make these. I havent in a very very long time and I they as so simply and delicious....If you have cornstarch and staples like flour, sugar, eggs and butter... you´re ready to go!
