lay these on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Preheat the oven to 160C.
Bake 20 min. depending on size. Leave to cool on a wire rack and then spreed a generous amount of dulce de leche between 2 cookies. Sprinkle some powder sugar on top and tad-ha they are ready to enjoy!!!
Dulce de Leche
200 ml evaporated milk
200 ml condensed milk
1 cinnamon stick
3 cloves
Put all the ingredients in a heat proof bowl and bring to boil, when it boils reduce the heat and simmer the cream, stirring to prevent sticking.
If it is already thick (you can see the bottom of the bowl) and it has a clear caramel color, remove from the heat. Take out the cloves and cinnamon stick. It can be refrigerated for at the most 1 weekLabels: Recipes
