Argentinean alfajores are sandwich cookies made of two crumbly, round, sweet cookies stuffed with milk jam or dulce de leche. After that, the mixture is either dusted with confectioners’ sugar or covered with a coating of chocolate. The Arabic term al-hasë, which meaning packed or filled, is the source of the name alfajor. The cookies originate in Andalusia, Spain, but are now found all over Latin America. Over time, the Spanish alfajor was modified to fit the cultures of nearly every Latin American nation.

The marranitos are baked till golden brown; when served, it’s best to have milk or hot chocolate on hand.

The cookies smell quite classic, with a strong ginger, nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon aroma.

To heat the cookie and soften the syrupy layer, it is customary to place a cookie on top of the cup and let it steam for a few minutes.
