Ingredients

1 cup / 250 grams ground almonds

1 1/4 cup / 300 grams butter

1 cup / 225 grams confectioner's sugar

3 eggs

rind of 1 lemon

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp almond essence

1/2 pound of plain flour

Optional - sweentened condensed milk or melted chocolate or desiccated coconut

Directions

Mix the butter with the sugar and essences.

Add the eggs one at a time.

Add the flour and the almonds and knead lightly.

Place dough in the fridge for about 35 min.

Flatten dough and then cut into small circles, cookie size

Bake for about 20 minutes on greased and floured baking sheets.

Take one circle and cover it in jam/jelly, dulce de leche (sweetened condensed milk) or melted chocolate

Then use another circle to close the alfajore. It's like making a sandwich.

The moist edges can be covered in shaved coconut or powdered sugar.
