PERUVIAN CARAMEL COOKIES
According to the story, there's a Peruvian bakery in New York where, on Wednesday mornings the line forms very early for these cookies. And, they cost a buck each. I believe it. They're incredible when they're fresh. Got it off the net from someone who's Chilean friend gave her the same authentic recipe. You can make your own caramel recipe but it won't taste the same.

Steps:
- Cream butter with confectioners' and granulated sugar until fluffy.
- Stir in remaining ingredients.
- Wrap and chill 30 minutes.
- If chilled longer let it warm up until it can be rolled.
- Or, whack it with a rolling pin until it cooperates.
- Roll dough out to 1/4" thickness, cut in 2 1/2" circles and place on parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes.
- Cool cookie sheets between batches.
- Cool cookies on wire rack.
- Carefully (they're fragile cookies) spread some caramel on one cookie and top with another cookie.
- Dust tops with confectioners' sugar and enjoy immediately having a crisp cookie-the way they were meant to be eaten.
- They will turn soft after setting.
- Alternatively the cookies can be filled with the rewarmed caramel as needed.
- Caramel: Pour both cans of condensed milk in the top of a double boiler over simmering water and simmer on very low heat 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Eventually the milk will thicken and brown.
- Cool well and it will thicken further.
- Refrigerate until needed.
- Makes enough for 4-5 dozen cookies.

Steps:
- Mix flour, confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl. Place butter in a separate bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until soft and fluffy. Add white sugar and vanilla and mix well.
- Add flour mixture to the bowl with the butter mixture in 3 stages; mix until just blended. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a log. Refrigerate dough logs until firm, about 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Slice dough logs into 1/4-inch cookies and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until just starting to turn golden around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool on the pan for 1 minute. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely, about 30 minutes more.
- Use a knife to apply a generous amount of dulce de leche on one cookie. Sandwich another cookie on top and place on a serving tray. Repeat with remaining cookies and dulce de leche. Lightly dust finished cookies with confectioners' sugar.

PERUVIAN ALFAJORES WITH MANJAR BLANCO
These are the nectar of the gods. Shortbread cookies with a sweet filling, covered in powdered sugar. Mmm. They are time consuming to make, but always worth it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Beat white sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add cornstarch, flour, eggs, pisco, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Mix gently until combined.
- Turn dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand until smooth. Add water as needed. Divide in half, refrigerate 1 portion, and leave the other out.
- Coat your work surface with powdered sugar. Roll dough out to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into 2-inch rounds with a cookie cutter or shot glass. Place rounds close together on a baking sheet. Prick each cookie twice with a fork.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; cookies should still be white and soft, not crispy, and will firm up as they cool. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
- Pour condensed milk, evaporated milk, and brown sugar into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until filling approaches the consistency of thick caramel, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat; mixture will firm up as it cools to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Pour confectioners' sugar into a shallow bowl. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of the filling over cooled cookies. Attach every two cookies together to make the alfajores. Roll alfajores in confectioners' sugar.

PERUVIAN CARAMEL SAUCE
Goat's milk is traditionally used in this recipe but evaporated milk works well. This must cook a long time to ensure the fullest caramel flavor. Pair with fruit or ice cream
