What Is An Alfajor?

​

At Gaucha, an alfajor is more than just a cookie — it’s a little round bite of joy, straight from the heart of Argentina. Made with two soft, delicate cookies and filled with creamy dulce de leche, alfajores are sometimes rolled in toasted coconut, dusted with powdered sugar, or dipped in rich chocolate.

In Argentina, alfajores are part of everyday life — a lunchbox treat, a sweet reward after school, or a coffee-time favorite. You’ll find them in bakeries, corner stores, and family kitchens. Every bite brings a bit of nostalgia, comfort, and celebration.
