Chocolate alfajores are a melt-in-your mouth cookie. This Argentinean staple combines a buttery shortbread cookie with sweet and sticky dulce de leche, a Latin American caramel sauce made from sweetened condensed milk. This recipe stays slightly from the traditional one. Instead of a vanilla butter cookie, these are chocolate. To make these alfajores extra special, dip them in dark chocolate.
