Dulce De Leche Cookies
Two sweet buttery cookies sandwiched together with rich dulce de leche! Shredded coconut is pressed around the edges of these sweet cookies to really send them over the top.

- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 7 ½ Tablespoons (105 g) softened butter

- Roll out the dough until it is ¼ inch evenly distributed on a baking tray. Once it is flat, chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Once the 30 minutes have past, preheat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut out your cookies. Place them on a baking tray and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are a bit golden.
- Let them cool before you begin adding the dulce de leche.

- Fill a piping bag ¾ full with dulce de leche. Cut off the end and add about 1 ½ tablespoons of dulce de leche caramel onto each bottom cookie. This way it is a bit thick and will allow the coconut to stick. Top with another cookie and add some shredded coconut with a spoon or your hand all around the sides, so it sticks to the dulce de leche border.⅓ cup shredded coconut
- Place on a plate or on the baking sheet and refrigerate until the caramel has hardened and isn’t falling to the sides.
- Serve and enjoy!
