Rich tasting dessert alfajores made with cornstarch for special occasions. The alfajores are a typical Argentine dessert made like a sweet sandwich with a caramel like filling. You can serve them as dessert or even as a gift.
Sift flour, cornstarch, baking soda and baking powder.
In a bowl beat the butter with the sugar, add the yolks one by one mixing well after each one, then the cognac; and little by little the sieved dry ingredients. Add the vanilla essence or the lemon zest and mix well.
Form a dough without kneading and stretching ½ cm. of thickness. Cut medallions of 4 cm. diameter.
Place on a plate without greasing and cook in medium temp oven during 15 minutes; let cool.
Form the alfajores by joining two cookies with caramel in the middle and passing their edges through grated coconut.
