Alfajores cookies recipe
Serious Eats / María del Mar Cuadra
While I didn't plan on making an exact copy of the Havanna Alfajor Negro (Chocolate Alfajor) I did want to satisfy my craving for this sandwich cookie: the subtle chocolate flavor almond and lemon zest essence cake-like texture dulce de leche filling and chocolate coating.
Havanna alfajores originated in a café of that name in Mar del Plata in the late 1940s. The name is probably synonymous with "alfajor." Although it is now available in some specialty stores and by mail order when I was younger I had to rely on my parents' friends to bring a box when they traveled. That box was bright yellow and sturdy—mature and sophisticated to my eyes—and each alfajor was wrapped in gold paper. Carefully uncovering one of the prized cookies was a Bucketsian moment.
