Cuisine Latin American South American Chilean Chilean Alfajores 3.0 (2) 1 Review 2 Photos An alfajore is a traditional cookie made most commonly in South America. There are many different versions and ways to make this cookie, but I believe this is the easiest way, with only 5 ingredients. It takes a while to make though. Submitted by Abby!

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 30 servings 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 7 tablespoons white sugar 1 large egg, beaten 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour Directions Place the entire, unopened can of condensed milk in a large saucepan. Fill the saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until milk inside has caramelized, about 2 hours. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool while you make the cookies. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in egg, then mix in flour until well combined. Drop batter by small teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Dip your finger into flour, and pat each cookie into a very thin, little circle (about the size of a quarter). Bake in the preheated oven until just starting to brown around the edges and no longer doughy in the centers, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more. Sandwich cooled cookies together with the caramelized condensed milk. Cook's Note: It makes a lot of cookies, and I ended up not even using all of the caramelized condensed milk.
