Have You Tried Dulce De Leche In a Cookie?
It’s #nationalcookieday. And how fitting is it to have Cookie Day right in the heart of the holiday season? It’s perfect!
And to celebrate this day, I decided to make Dulce de Leche Linzer Cookies made with Eagle Brand Milk Condensed Milk, which is the best brand to use to make Dulce de Leche.
Eagle Brand Milk Condensed Milk is made with two ingredients, milk and sugar. That’s it. No additives.
And when you cook it for a couple of hours it produces the richest, golden Dulce de Leche. It’s so delicious.
For the cookies, The rich buttery dough is rolled and cut into circles, with a smaller circle cut into 1/2 of the cookies. Then they’re baked, dusted with powdered sugar, and filled with Dulce de Leche. The perfect holiday cookie.
So, definitely give these cookies a try.

Cookies
- Cream together butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add egg, and vanilla and beat. Add flour, almond flour, and salt. Mix to incorporate. Divide into two equal parts. Shape into disks and flatten. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Roll the first dough into 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into rounds using a fluted round cookie cutter. Transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Gather and Re-roll dough until no more remains. Do the same to the second half of the dough. Use a smaller round cookie cutter smaller than the fluted cutter and cut in the center of the fluted rounds. Place on a second cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden. Cool cookies for 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack. Dust the smaller cookies with powdered sugar. Then add about 1 tsp of dulce de leche to the bottom of halves and sandwich together with the tops.
