Optional additions:
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
- Sugar for coating
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a large bowl cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour and mix until combined. If the dough is too soft, add 2-3 tablespoons of flour

- Roll the dough into a log shape, wrap it with plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes. Then, unwrap and slice the log into 1/4-inch (1/2cm) thick slices.
- Transfer the cookies to the baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes, until slightly golden.

ReplyI NEVER write comments for these recipe pages but... I’m amazed. I’ve never had such good butter cookies! They’re delicate, simple, and dissolve in the mouth beautifully. I piped these in rounds because I didn’t have the patience to roll them out and it still worked great. And so easy!!!

ReplyI think its plain because optional salt
Reply Show More Commentsi used a drizzle of maple syrup instead of the powdered suger and it worked! :D
ReplyYes I get the cracks too but trust me no one has complained! If you sift the flour, and use powdered (also sifted), plus corn starch, that’s pretty much the base alfajores! They’re so good it’s almost the texture of Mexican wedding cookies. I do love this recipe on here as well with a piping bag to make it decorative. Happy Holidays all!
