Ingredients

  • 12-20 sandwich cookies
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill brand), plus more as needed for rolling
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), room temperature
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon pisco or brandy
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 cup dulce-de-leche or cajeta
  • 1/2 cup toppings/garnish: flaked coconut, finely chopped nuts, finely chopped chocolate, etc.
  • 3 minutes, until fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and set the mixer on medium. Mix in the egg yolks, pisco, vanilla, and lemon zest for another minute or two until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again.
  • 350 degrees F. While waiting for oven to heat, roll out dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut into preferred shapes. Place on a baking sheet at least 1/2 inch apart and bake for 12-14 minutes, until the top is pale golden and the bottom and sides are lightly browned. If you want crisper cookies, bake a minute or so longer until top is getting lightly brown or desired color. Let cool on a wire rack.
