The Argentine cookie we grew up with

An alfajor is two tender cookies sandwiched around dulce de leche, sometimes dipped in chocolate or rolled in coconut. We have been making them by hand in Amsterdam since 2003, the same family recipe.

  • Alfajores de chocolate, dipped and filled
  • Alfajores de maicena, soft cornstarch with coconut
  • Filled with our own Argentine dulce de leche
  • Shipped across the Netherlands, Europe, the UK and the US
