Finally I can bake, I loved this biscuit they are very popular in my city Santa Cruz Bolivia, I remember when I had this for first time I couldn't stop eating and for that I always got in trouble.
Alfajores son muy populares en Santa Cruz-Bolivia,creo que los espanoles los copiaron de los arabes llevandolos a Suramerica, la primers vez que los probe fueron en el snack que mi madre tenia, una senora los hacia para que nosotros los revendieramos, llevan dulce de leche y en algunos lugares son rellenados con majablano, clro que los argentinos los banan en chocolate
