Yum. I contemplated ending my post at Yum, but that is just not like me - way too concise. On target, but too concise.
I am very VERY fond of dulce de leche. I purchased some from Amazon several months ago and I have made it by boiling the can of condensed milk as well. I am not sure which I prefer - they were both thick and luscious.
I was quite concerned that my cookies would not be round enough to sandwich, but in fact they turned out quite nicely. I used a regular spoon to scoop mine and some of them were on the large side. I think I ended up with just under 60. My cookies turned out very thin and somewhat dark - I like a well-done cookie so that works for me.
I used the remainder of my jar of dulce de leche to fill most of the cookies, but I ran out of leche before I ran out of cookies. I filled the remainder with Nutella. I actually wasn't crazy about that combination. I found it difficult to spread a very thin layer of Nutella and I think it overpowered the caramel taste of the cookies themselves.
I adored the scent of this dough before I formed the cookies and found that baking the cookies a tad more enhanced this flavor.
Excellent choice for this week by Jodie. She has posted the recipe here and of course you can also find it in the book!

Yes, these were quite tasty. No matter what shape they began in, they turned into perfect little discs.
They look delicious. Glad now I didn't try the Nutella.
I think subsequently, other brands began to manufacture similar candies, giving them names such as "Vauquita" and "Vaquerita" in an effort to link their products to the original.
