A cookie lookie
Cupcakes enjoyed a glorious reign as the top treat, macarons tempted our taste buds and doughnuts are currently riding a sugar high, but if you need a classic confection that isn’t overexposed, make your next nibble an alfajor.
The traditional Argentinean sandwich cookie has dulce de leche squished between two sweet biscuits. Stop there and you have a perfectly respectable cookie, but Coco Karamel takes the alfajores one step further by rolling it in coconut or dipping it in chocolate to create a culinary experience that simply must be shared across international borders
