Ready in: 1 hour 30 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 24

• 3 cups flour
• 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 cup butter
• 7 ounces milk caramel jam (dulce de leche)
• 3 tablespoons rum

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Extra time: 1 hour, chilling

1. In a large bowl sift together the flour and confectioners sugar, then set aside.
2. In a medium bowl cream together the butter and the milk caramel jam using a fork. Then using an electric mixer, beat until smooth.
3. Beat in the egg yolks and the rum. Gradually mix in the sifted ingredients until well blended. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
