Ingredients
-
2 ½ cups cornstarch
-
1 ⅔ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
¾ cup white sugar
-
3 egg yolks
-
2 teaspoons lemon zest
-
1 teaspoon vanilla rum
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ teaspoon lemon extract
-
1 (11.5 ounce) jar dulce de leche
-
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Whisk cornstarch, flour, baking powder, and baking soda together; set aside.
-
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition; beat in third yolk along with lemon zest, vanilla rum, vanilla extract, and lemon extract. Gently fold in cornstarch mixture with a spoon, making a crumbly dough, until cohesive enough; press into a ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; chill 30 to 60 minutes.
-
Roll dough out, using as little flour as possible, until about 1/4-inch thick. (The dough will have an unusual consistency.) Cut dough using a small round cookie cutter. Continue pressing dough together, rolling, and cutting until all dough used. Place cookies 1/2-inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until set but not browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove cookies immediately; cool on a wire rack.
-
Spread 1 teaspoon dulce de leche onto underside of 1 cooled cookie; sandwich with second cookie until caramel oozes out sides. Roll sides in shredded coconut. Repeat with remaining cookies.
