Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups cornstarch
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoons minced lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (11.5 ounce) jar dulce de leche
  • ½ cup shredded coconut

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk cornstarch, flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
  3. Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Whisk in egg yolks, one at a time, until well combined, adding lemon zest and vanilla extract with last yolk. Fold into flour mixture with a spoon, mixing until dough holds together and forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. Roll dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness; cut with a small round cookie cutter and place on the prepared baking sheets.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until set but not browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove immediately to cool on a wire rack.
  6. Spread underside of 1 cookie with 1 teaspoon dulce de leche. Sandwich together with another cookie until filling comes out on sides; roll in shredded coconut. Repeat with remaining cookies, dulce de leche, and coconut.
