Chilean Alfajores are traditional sweet sandwich cookies popular in Chile, made with soft, delicate biscuits filled with creamy dulce de leche (manjar). These delicious treats are known for their melt-in-the-mouth texture, rich caramel flavour, and lightly sweet taste. The biscuits are often coated with powdered sugar or dipped in chocolate for extra sweetness. Chilean Alfajores are commonly enjoyed with coffee or tea and are a favourite dessert during family gatherings, celebrations, and special occasions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter and sugar until creamy.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to approximately ½ cm thickness.
Cut the dough into small round biscuit shapes using a cookie cutter.
Place the biscuits on a lined baking tray.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
