3-Ingredient Shortbread Cookies with Dulce de Leche


  • Author: Alioui
  • Total Time: Approximately 30-33 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies 1x

Description

A simple yet indulgent treat, these cookies feature luscious dulce de leche encased in buttery shortbread.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (60g) dulce de leche

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, blend the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add in your all-purpose flour to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing gently to form a soft dough.
  3. Roll dough into small 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press gently to create an indentation in each cookie center and fill with dulce de leche.
  4. Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill the dough balls for 10 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
