The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has arrived, bringing so many delicious goodies to eat. One of my favorite delights is the Cookie Stroll. It's so much fun to try different cookies from around the world. But if you'd like to try making one of these cookies at home, here's a recipe for Alfajores from the Disney Chefs.
Alfajores from the Nochebuena Cocina Holiday Kitchen
Makes 6-8 Alfajores
Cookies
2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c cornstarch
3/4 c butter, softened
1/2 c powdered sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Combine all-purpose flour and cornstarch in a small bowl; set aside.
Cream butter and powdered sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla and mix on medium speed, scraping sides occasionally, until fully incorporated.
Add reserved flour mixture and beat on low speed until dry dough starts to come together. Remove from bowl and knead of floured surface until dough is soft.
Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 2 1/2-inch circles. Place on prepared baking pan, leaving 2-inches between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.
Alfajores
1 (14 ounce) can Dulce de Leche
12-16 cookies
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Pour dulce de leche into a piping bag. Place half of the cookies, bottom side up, on a flat surface. Pipe dulce de leche onto each cookie. Top with remaining cookies. Coat sides of cookies with shredded coconut and dust tops with powdered sugar.
Cook’s Note: To enhance the flavor of the coconut, toast it in the oven. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 300ºF, stirring every 3 minutes, until golden brown.
