Description
Delicious butter cookies with a layer of dulce de leche and a thin coating of chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
For the dough
- 1/2 cup (120) butter
- 2/3 cup (90g) confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
- 1–2 tbsp. cold water
To Finish
- 14 oz. (400g) Dulce de leche
- 14 oz. (400g) milk chocolate coating
- 3 tsp. shortening (palmin soft)
Instructions
- Add the butter, confectioners’ sugar, and salt to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix in. Add the flour and mix until small crumbles form. Gradually add the water and mix until the dough starts coming together. Form a ball, flatten and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Set aside. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out 38-40 cookies with 1.5 inches (4cm) diameter. Place on the baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until firm but not browned. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely on a wire rack.
- Spread a small amount of Dulce de leche on each cookie and place the cookies on a board and place in the fridge for about an hour. Melt the chocolate together with the shortening and mix until smooth. Dunk the cookies into the chocolate so they are covered completely, brush off excessive chocolate and place on parchment paper to dry. Store the finished cookies in the fridge.
Notes
- Enjoy baking!
