Chill cookies until chocolate is hardened. Cookies keep chilled, in an airtight container, 4 days. About l2 cookies. Yum!

Addicting Argentine Alfajores: Chocolate-Covered Shortbread Cookies with Dulce de Leche Filling
YUMMY! Gotta try these chocolate-covered, orange-zested, shortbread cookies sandwiched with a rich and creamy dulce de leche filling. Try variations using fruit preserves or curd, chocolate, or sweet-cream filling. Roll uncovered, filled cookies in coconut, powdered sugar, or nuts. Add chopped candy, like caramels, to the tops of the chocolate-covered cookies. Dip only half of the cookie in chocolate. There are lots of options to cater to your preferred textures and flavors.
