Dulce de Leche Cookie Bars #CreativeCookieExchange

dulce de leche cookiesOh yes! we have cookies again, and we are celebrating a little early 5 de Mayo, because we want for you to have all what you need before this huge celebration.
All the cookies the we make today are inspired in this celebration, all Mexican or latin inspired cuisine.
I made, this delicious Dulce de Leche cookies, so easy and so good, they are made with only a few ingredients and I know you don’t believe it but the flavor of the dulce the leche is not heavy, so you can enjoy more then one piece, and the change I did is the instead of round cookies I spice it up by making little squares or bars, easier and different you know me I’m very practical, I like simple and easy recipes.

  2. These cookies look absolutely scrummy! Now, what if you don’t have access to dulce de leche – it’s not commonly found in Europe, or outside of the Americas really. What would you substitute it with? And can you FedEx me several boxes of these cookies?

    • Hahaha, I will try to send you some cookies, and you can buy dulce de leche online or in the worst case substitute with caramel, or make your own dulce de leche, I will post a how to, next week. Thank you

  3. How lucky for me that my baking this month only used a small bit of my can of dulce de leche and now I can use the rest for your recipe. These sound heavenly!
