What Are Cornstarch Alfajores?

Posted by Carolina Roland on

Cornstarch alfajores are a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth version of the classic Argentine cookie. Made with cornstarch instead of traditional flour, they are softer, lighter, and naturally gluten-free in our case.

Filled with rich dulce de leche, they offer a more tender and airy bite compared to other alfajor styles, making them a favorite for those looking for a softer texture.

What are cornstarch alfajores?

Cornstarch alfajores are sandwich cookies made with a soft, crumbly dough and filled with dulce de leche. Their texture is what defines them: light, fragile, and smooth from the first bite.

Why they feel different

The key difference is texture. Cornstarch creates a softer, more delicate cookie that breaks easily and melts in your mouth, instead of the firmer bite found in traditional alfajores.

Why they are gluten-free

Our cornstarch alfajores are made without gluten-containing flours, using a blend of cornstarch and alternative flours to achieve their signature texture.

This makes them a great option for those looking for gluten-free alfajores without sacrificing flavor or quality.

 

Why people love them

Cornstarch alfajores are loved for their contrast: a delicate cookie paired with the richness of dulce de leche. The result is soft, comforting, and easy to enjoy.

If you want to try more than one style, including traditional and chocolate-coated options, you can explore the No Gluten No Problem Gift Box.
