Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.

  2. 2

    In another bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, honey, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough in half, forming two discs. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Roll out one disc of dough between two sheets of parchment paper, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or glass. Repeat with the second disc.

  7. 7

    Place the circles onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

  8. 8

    To assemble, spread a thin layer of dulce de leche on one side of each cookie and then gently press another cookie on top to form a sandwich.

  9. 9

    Enjoy this scrumptious Argentinian delight!

Chef's Notes

If making homemade dulce de leche, simmer milk and sugar in a saucepan until thickened. Cool completely before using.
