  • In a large bowl, beat the powdered sugar and margarine at room temperature.
  • Cream the mixture well and immediately start adding the eggs one by one, without stopping to beat.
  • Add all the previously sifted dry ingredients to the bowl.
  • Add the coffee to the dough and beat until smooth. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, as the dough should be worked cold.
  • Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out until it is 1 cm thick.
  • Cut the dough with a round cookie cutter of the desired diameter. Place the obtained discs on a greased tray lined with non-stick paper.
  • Cook the dough discs to form the alfajor tops. To do this, bake at 180° C for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool until warm and fill with dulce de leche.
  • Dip the alfajores in toasted grated coconut and decorate with melted chocolate.
