I made alfajores about a month ago. It is basically dulce de leche sandwiched between two shortbread cookies. The dulce de leche was very simple to make: I just took a can of condensed milk and boil it in water, completely submerged, for about 3 hours. It is VERY important to keep the can completely submerged the entire time because otherwise the pressure that builds up inside the can will cause it to explode! With my track record, I was lucky that I didn't end up spending my weekend scraping dulce de leche off the kitchen ceiling.
