After the dough has been refrigerated, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough out till its about 1/8-1/4 of an inch in thickness. The dough might get a little crumbly, that’s totally fine. Just mash it back together where it’s needed. Take a round cookie cutter, or if you’re me, use a sippy cup. I know. I’m classy. Cut circles out and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. You can remash and roll the dough out a few times. You should get around 24 cookies out of it.

Bake the cookies for 12 minutes. You will know they are done when the edges turn a golden brown. After letting the cookies cool, slather dulce de leche on a cookie and sandwich it with another.

    I am really hoping that these are the ones my hubby remembers from his mission in Uruguay. I’ve tried several recipes but though he says they are good, they haven’t been exactly right. His were dipped in chocolate, no coconut. Fingers crossed!
