Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dulce de leche (for filling)
- Extra powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Using your hands, press the dough into a flat disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles.
- Place the cookie circles on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, spread a generous amount of dulce de leche on the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie on top. Repeat this for all cookies.
- Dust the assembled cookies with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
