Alfajores are a traditional Argentine treat made of two round, shortbread-like cookies that are filled with dulce de leche, a caramel-like spread made from sweetened milk. The cookies are often coated with chocolate or sprinkled with powdered sugar, and sometimes have additional flavorings like vanilla or cinnamon. Alfajores are a popular dessert in Argentina, as well as in many other South American countries, and are often enjoyed with coffee or tea. They are also a popular snack and are commonly found in bakeries and supermarkets.
