Steps:
- Mix flour, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl. Place butter in a separate bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until soft and fluffy. Add white sugar and vanilla and mix well.

ALFAJORES ARGENTINEAN STYLE
This is a traditional cookie that is much loved in most Latin cultures. Even my mother in law says they're the BEST, and that is saying a lot considering she is from Mendoza, Argentina!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.
- Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, allowing each yolk to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla rum, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and lemon zest with the last egg. Gently fold in the flour mixture with a spoon, making a crumbly dough. When the dough becomes cohesive enough, press it together into a ball with your hands. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough, using as little flour as possible, about 1/4 inch thick. The dough will have an unusual consistency. Cut with a small round cookie cutter. Continue pressing the dough together, rolling it out, and cutting until you have used it all. Place cookies 1/2 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set but not browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies immediately to cool on a wire rack.
- Spread the underside of a cooled cookie with a teaspoon of dulce de leche, then sandwich together with another cookie until the caramel oozes out the sides. Roll the sides in the shredded coconut.

- In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder until well combined. In a separate large bowl with an electric hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in eggs on low speed one at a time, then stir in vanilla until just combined. Gradually stir in flour mixture on low speed until just combined. Cover and refrigerate dough at least 1 hour.
- On a well-floured surface, roll out chilled dough to 1/4-inch thick. Use a cookie cutter (I used a 2-inch linzer cookie cutter) to cut out cookie rounds; transfer to prepared cookie sheet, spaced 1 inch apart (you’ll have to bake in batches). Re-roll dough once, if needed, to cut more rounds. Bake 8-10 minutes until set and puffed. Cool 1 minute on baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Pipe or spoon approximately 1 tablespoon dulce de leche on the bottoms of half of the cookies. Top with remaining half of cookies. Store covered in an airtight container up to 5 days.
