1 cup (120g) | all-purpose flour |
2 cup (256g) | cornstarch |
½ tsp. (2.4g) | baking powder |
½ cup (100g) | granulated sugar |
6 oz. (170g) | Plugrá® Premium Butter, unsalted, softened |

1 |
Whisk flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in a large bowl. Set aside.
|
2 |
Beat sugar and butter on medium speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
|
3 |
Add yolks and eggs and beat on medium until combined. Beat in Amaretto, vanilla, and lemon zest until well blended.
|
4 |
Add flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Do not over mix.
|
5 |
Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and form into a disk. Wrap with plastic and chill for 2 hours or until firm.
|
6 |
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment or use a silicon baking sheet.
|
7 |
Lightly flour a work surface and roll the chilled dough to ⅛-inch thick. Cut with a 2-inch round cutter. Press a cookie stamp into the rounds, if desired.
|
8 |
Place cookies on prepared cookie sheets and bake until edges of cookie start to turn golden, about 8-10 minutes. Let cookies rest on the pans until completely cool.
|
9 |
Pipe or spread the dulce de leche onto the flat side of half of the cookies, top with the remaining cookies. Roll the edges in the coconut, if desired.
