Almond Alfajores - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup almond meal (or almond flour)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 ounces almond paste
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup dulce de leche

Preparation

Mix the ground almond meal, flour, and salt in a medium bowl.
Grate the almond paste into the bowl.
Blend the butter into the flour mixture with your fingers, until dough is smooth and well mixed. Chill dough for 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
On a well floured surface, roll half the cookie dough out to 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut desired shapes and place on a cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, rerolling scraps until all of the dough has been rolled and cut.
Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown.
When cookies are cool spread 1-2 tsps of dulce de leche on a cookie and top with another.
