Alfajores (An Argentinean Dulce De Leche Sandwich Cookie) image

Found these while playing on the Internet and decided to give them a try soon. For the dulce de leche, you can either make your own (many good recipes on this site) or find it in a local market that has a good selection of Latin American products.
