Ingredients

Cookie

  • 300 g plain flour
  • 4 tblsp icing sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 170 g cold butter cubed
  • Icing sugar to dusting

Filling

  • 1 can condensed milk or 1 can store bought dulce de leche to save time

Instructions

  • If you opt to make the dulce de leche yourself, place the unopened tin of condensed milk in a large pot completely submerged in water. Bring to a boil, simmer for 2 hours, making sure the water doesn’t boil down. Top up water if needed. Refrigerate until completely cool. If you are using ready dulce de leche you can skip this step completely.
  • Preheat your oven to 150C fan forced and line two oven trays with baking paper.
  • To make the cookies, sift the flour, icing sugar and salt into mixer bowl. Use the paddle attachment, add butter and mix to form a dough.
  • Roll out dough in small batches on a lightly floured surface. Roll out quite thin, around just under 5mm thick and cut out 5cm rounds. (Since we are getting into the spirit of Ramadan I also used a star shaped cookie cutter and used the round cutter to make crescent moons)
  • Place the rounds onto prepared baking trays about 1cm apart.
  • Bake for 12- 15 minutes or until firm and golden brown. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Sandwich the dulce de leche filling between to cookies, be gentle because the cookies are quite fragile.
  • Dust with icing sugar and be prepared to have your mind blown!
