Set aside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream Butter and Sugar:<\/strong> In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter at medium-high speed for 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and cream for another 1-2 minutes until very fluffy and light in color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add Egg Yolks and Extracts:<\/strong> Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing until combined after each addition. Mix in the vanilla and almond extract (if using).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combine Wet and Dry:<\/strong> Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft, not-too-sticky dough forms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chill the Dough:<\/strong> Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (or even overnight). This is crucial for easier handling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preheat and Prepare:<\/strong> Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Roll and Cut:<\/strong> Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut it into 4 pieces. Work with one piece at a time, keeping the others covered. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about \u00bc inch (5mm) thickness. Cut out circles using a 2-3 inch round cookie cutter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong> Carefully transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cool Completely:<\/strong> Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets. They are very fragile when warm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fill the Alfajores:<\/strong> Once cooled, spread or pipe dulce de leche onto the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to create a sandwich.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dust (Optional):<\/strong> Dust the tops of the alfajores with powdered sugar. You can also optionally press the edges of the dulce de leche filling into chopped walnuts, ground nuts, or shredded coconut.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay!
