Filling
Instructions
Step 1
Melt the *butter* and combine it with the *sugar*, *eggs*, and *vanilla sugar*. Stir well.
Next, add in the *warm milk* and continue to mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 2
Add the dry ingredients to the liquid mixture, introducing the *flour* gradually. Mix to form a soft dough using a spatula initially, and then gently combine the dough using your hands to form a ball. Avoid kneading too much.
Step 3
Place the dough in the *freezer* for 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
Remove the dough from the freezer, slightly knead it, and roll it out to a thickness of 5-6 millimeters (0.25 inch). Use a glass or a thin-edged cutter to cut circles from the dough.
Step 5
Arrange the circles on parchment paper and bake at 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit) for 10-14 minutes. The cookies should not brown significantly; focus on ensuring they are baked through.
Step 6
After baking, spread *dulce de leche* on the cookie circles and sandwich them together. Coat the sides with more dulce de leche and roll in *coconut flakes* for a decorative finish.

A flat and even oven tray ensures uniform baking. Line it with parchment paper for easy cookie removal and less cleanup.
For even cookie sizes, use a cookie cutter. If you don’t have one, a thin-edged glass works perfectly! Just dip it in a bit of flour before cutting to avoid sticking.
Variations
**Gluten-Free Variation 🌾**
Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend, and ensure your baking powder and starch are also gluten-free. The result? **Delicious cookies that everyone can enjoy without a gluten worry!**
**Vegan Twist 🥥**
Replace butter with coconut oil and use flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water per egg). Swap condensed milk for a vegan dulce de leche. Voilà, a plant-based treat so good, even non-vegans will crave more!
Faq
- Why does my dough feel too sticky?
If your dough is sticky, try adding a bit more flour a little at a time until it becomes smooth and manageable. Ensure your butter isn't too warm either!
- How do I know when the cookies are done?
These cookies are done when they are light golden and set around the edges. They shouldn’t turn brown or hard; remember, they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
- Can I add other flavors or spices?
Absolutely! You can incorporate a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a spicy twist or even a hint of almond extract for a different aroma. Let your imagination run as wild as your taste buds say!
- What’s the best way to store these cookies for freshness?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week, but who are we kidding? They won't last that long without being devoured! 😉
- Why do my cookies spread too much when baking?
Too much spreading can result from over-buttered dough or insufficient chilling time. Make sure to follow the recipe closely, chilling your dough thoroughly before baking.
- Can I freeze the dough for later use?
Absolutely, you can freeze the dough after shaping for up to three months. Just thaw it in the fridge overnight before rolling out and baking. Perfect for spontaneous cookie cravings!
