Shopping and Baking

 Yesterday I went to buy a few supplies I needed to bake Alfajores, which are delicious sandwiches of crumbly cookies with a center of dulce de leche.




I really wanted to get a Kitchen Aid mixer but my kitchen I don't have as much storage space as I'd like to so I resisted the temptation of getting one and buying a hand mixer.




The cookies turned out fantastic. the cookies melt in my mouth and aren't too sweet so the taste of the dulce de leche is not overpowering.


Can't wait to share them with my friends!!!

    Those look amazingly yummy. Really like the last picture on your post. Great food styling!! I think that blogger-cookers should have giveaways on their blogs of food. Don't you think? ;)

    Oh my word, those cookies look so yummy! My dad's store makes dulce de leche cheesecake and it's good enough to die for. I can't even imagine how good it would be in cookie form. You've got some lucky friends there. ;)
