Argentinian alfajores, the best, I invite you to learn more about the great variety of alfajores that we have in our country, tranks for your recipe!

[@TheCookingFoodie]

Can you tell me more about the variety?

[@constancep7632]

There are many! Dipped in white, milk or dark chocolate, chocolate cookies dipped or plain, etc. My favourite flavours to make are vanilla cookies with lemon zest, and chocolate cookies with orange zest and dipped in dark chocolate. I also make my own dulce de leche in the Instant Pot, it's divine.
