It is nice to see more latinamerican recipes on this site. My father is Argentinian, and of course we are big fans of alfajores (specially the Havanna brand). I would only suggest adding tangerine zest to the cookie dough, as in some traditional argentinian recipes. Other recipes call for using cooked egg yolks in the dough. Also if you don't have original dulce de leche, you can make a very similar one by boiling a can of condensed sugared milk during at least 2 hours, but BEWARE: cool off completely before opening!

I feel it's unfair to rate a recipe when its not followed exactly. But the outcome of my variation turned out so well I had to share it. I used 1/2 cup cooked mashed apples (a homemade attempt to make applesauce) and 1/2 cup olive oil instead of the 1 cup of butter the recipe calls for. Let me say it turned out to be a very delicious and healthy version of this recipe! It was great, even without topping (I don't like excessively sweet frosted cakes). Hope it helps!

This is such a good recipe, I HAD to write a review about it. REALLY EASY. I made it three times this past week, because it was that good! I recommend the recipe exactly as it is, it's very moist, and not extremely sweet. I used green apples the third time I made it, and it tasted far better than with red, yellow or even dried apples. I also tried this recipe with granulated splenda instead of sugar for my diabetic dad, and it tasted very good too.
