Chocolate Alfajores

Ingredients

250g unsalted butter, softened250g
70g caster sugar1kg
1 free-range egg6 pack
25g runny honey340g
175g plain flour1.5kg
80g cornflour250g
30g unsweetened cocoa powder250g
2 tsp baking powder170g
400g dulce de leche (or caramel spread)397g
500g milk chocolate, melted for coating500g
Zest of 1 unwaxed orange1 pc

Method

  1. For the cookies cream the butter with the sugar for a few minutes. Then add the egg and honey and mix well. Add flour, cornstarch, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder and mix until you get a dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least half an hour or overnight.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
  3. Divide dough into two parts, put one part back in the fridge before using. Roll out second part to about 2 millimeters and cut out round cookies with 5-6 centimeters in diameter. This can be done with a cookie cutter or glass. You should get 30 cookies in total or even more, I get about 40. Bake one baking sheet at the time for about 8-10min. Let cookies cool.
  4. For the filling look for two cookies of the same size and place about one teaspoon of dulce de leche onto the bottom one before sandwiching together.
  5. Chop semi-sweet chocolate and melt with butter and orange zest on low heat. Dunk each sandwich cookie into the chocolate and let cool off on parchment paper before serving.
