First of all, what are alfajores?

We’re aware that not everyone knows what alfajores are since they’re not that common in the U.S. Before we continue, let’s learn to pronounce their name: al·fa·ho·res. The J in Spanish sounds like an H in English. 😋

Alfajores are a delicious and typically South American dessert that’s mostly consumed in Argentina, a country at the southern tip of the continent. They’re made with buttery melt-in-your-mouth cookies and creamy delicious dulce de leche sandwiched between them. They’re also sometimes coated in dark or white chocolate.

They are, according to the Washington Post, the “ultimate sandwich cookie!”. There are many restaurants that are beginning to include these goodies in their menus because everyone loves them at first bite
 and we’re not lagging behind, of course.

Their history is so interesting

Even though they’re widely known as an Argentinian dessert, alfajores have their roots tied to the East. They made their way to the West with the Moorish Invasion in Spain which then took them to the Americas during the Conquest Era.

History suggests that alfajores started as long, thin cylinders made with ground almonds (we’re being reminded of delicious French macaron shells here) and filled with an almond-based cream. Once they reached South America, they started changing and spreading throughout the continent until they became the cookie we know today.

Nowadays alfajores are primarily found in Argentina, where you can find them in hundreds of different delicious variations.
