  • Preparation: 25 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (127 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 38 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 19 g Butter, unsalted
  • 13 g Sugar
  • 6 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 30 g Dulce de leche
  • 20 g Jam
  • 0.5 g Vanilla extract

Method

  1. Cream the butter with the sugar, then work in the egg and vanilla, and finally the flour, to a smooth cookie dough. This is 1 portion; multiply by 8 for a full batch of cookies.
  2. Roll the dough out thin and cut into small rounds; bake at 180°C (355°F) for 8-10 minutes until just golden at the edges, then cool completely.
  3. Sandwich the cookies together in a stack with layers of the dulce de leche and pineapple jam between each.
  4. Let the assembled stack sit for at least 20 minutes so the layers soften slightly together before slicing and serving.
