Description

Delightful sandwich cookies filled with rich dulce de leche, perfect for sharing and enjoying any time.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
