My mom doesn't understand english but she watches all your videos and she got sooo excited when she saw that you were doing alfajores. They are very popular in Peru 🇵🇪
♥️🇵🇪 Does your mom makes alfajores with granulated sugar or powder sugar?
@@silviaaragon7501 she uses powder sugar. I might make some today 🤤
Can they be made a day ahead?
Holaaaa
@@jaquelinereyes46 yes,they stay so soft but be aware they are addicted.
I live in Ecuador now. I made these and my Ecuadorian friends loved them!
Wow.... Vivan los Alfajores! 🇦🇷
Omg, as soon as I saw the notification I clicked so fast 😅
In Argentina, we called this "alfajores de maicena" but maicena or maizena is the brand of corn starch. Generally, they are made with only corn starch and a LOT of dulce de leche 😍
John I totally understand you about the cornstarch feeling 🤣
I didnt understand it 🤔
I hate the feeling of corn starch 🤢
IKR i get goosebumps from touching cornstarch UGH 😖 but i love baking with it anyway 😩
I feel the same!! My daughters boyfriend seen me using it the otherday then I put it at the back of the pantry. He went and grabbed it and at 2 scoops of it straight from the container!! 😳😲😬 🤦🤷 I was a bit shocked !! Lol
@@jamifitz omg savage lol
i've made these without the coconut but i like the addition of coconut. my friend who is married to an argentinian man told me they loved them. going to make them and give them to my neighbor who is from south america. happy thanksgiving john and many happy returns of the day.
My boyfriend is from Uruguay and thanks to him I discovered alfajores! I absolutely love them
So interesting to see all the different renditions of Alfajores. My Peruvian mom rolls hers in powdered sugar. Every Christmas she has cookies spread all over her island, filing and rolling them in a long assembly line. Such amazing childhood memories, we would eat them at the pace that she made them. To me, alfajores equals Christmas.
I’m Peruvian and thank you so much for making these! I was hoping one day you would do video. I can’t wait to try them I know they’ll come out delicious!!
🇵🇪🇵🇪
Thank god I’m not the only Peruvian here
Peruana aquí ❤️🙆
Samee
I'm peruvian too! I will have to try this recipe. I make alfajores all the time but my recipe is different. 😃❤
Hello! As an Argentinian I can say for sure you just honored one of our favourite candys! We use a dulce de leche special for bakery, wich is more stiff and allow us to put a scadalous amount in there. Thank you John!!
Yep! Alfajores de maicena are great!
I used to live in Argentina 🇦🇷, and it’s been 20 years since I’ve had an Alfajor de maicena. I made your recipe and it was PERFECT. Soooo good!! Thanks John!!
I’m very excited to see you tried Alfajores. I’m Peruvian (my parents were born there) and I was born in Argentina and I remember always making what we call “ Alfajores con Manjar Blanco ( dulce de leche) with my grandmother. I’m grateful to have learned her recipe and share the memories we had baking these delicious cookies and enjoying it with tea or milk. My grandmother passed away recently from Pulmonary Fibrosis and Covid. ❤️ Thank you for sharing this video and I always look forward to the next. 😄
I'm from Argentina and I suggested this recipe over a year ago, not sure if you saw it, lol! The recipe is perfect! I make them and sell them on weekends and they're so popular! I make them thicker, both the dough and the dulce de leche layer, just because here you can get different densities of dulce de leche. The one you have would be the one to spread, but there are two types more dense, made for pastries or baking. And also you can just put that dulce de leche you have in a pot stirring constantly for like 8-12 minutes and it would thicken up! Thanks for making these!!!
Heyy! Here in El Salvador 🇸🇻 we just call them “Alfajores” and we usually dip them in sugar glass as well! Just for that extra sweetness ✨🍁
I’m from Uruguay and alfajores were my childhood treat, thanks for making them
I love how calm and wholesome John is
I'm chilean living in the states and my American friend loves them. I make them for him and his family every so often
These are wildly popular in Chile! My husband is Chilean and I lived there for a bit. Dulce de leche there is called manjar, and it's in all the good desserts!
I love this! I grew up in 🇵🇪 Peru and always always had them! Nice job! We call Dulce de Leche, Manjar Blanco, but it’s the same thing. 😉
you're my favorite baker, thank you for the recipes
I love the texture of corn starch. It reminds me of Play-Doh, but non-sticky.
I made it today! It’s incredible delicious. The kitchen gets messy but it’s worthy it.
Love this recipe Viva El Peru
Lol!! I like the feel of corn starch!! It’s so smooth and silky!! And when you squeeze it, it makes a weird noise!! 😂🤪
Try mixing it with water then punch it. It goes from a liquid to a solid instantly. My daughter's when they were younger mixed it & it wouldn't splatter and did this odd liquid to solid thing. Idek
Love them without coconut but powdered sugar on top 😋
Oh myy I'm from Argentina and I love alfajores de maicena. Can't believe you made this, they look amazing!!! Im such a fan of your videos, keep it up!
I’m from Argentina and my mom makes these all the time. Delicious.
Dear Sir, I love your recipes and there's something sweeter than them, you. 💙 from South America
I really appreciate the detail and specificity in the closed captions including sounds and prosody. Definitely helps to feel real effort and equal access to great content!
I live in Mexico and we LOOVEE them! Fav cookies ❤️ Me encantaaa
These are called “alfajores de maicena” in Argentina :)
I'm Brazilian and I was confused about that, the Argentinean alfajores I got in Buenos Aires were the ones that are softer and covered with chocolate, those are also easy to find here in Sao Paulo. This cookies he made we call "Casadinhos", two cornstarch cookies glued together with some sort of filling, and they are way more common here than the traditional Argentinean alfajores
My grandma from Argentina has an incredible recipe for these :)
En realidad las maicenitas son diferentes jajaj (soy de Jujuy). Tendría que hacer alfajores marplatenses, ya que son los mas conocidos
@@adah5195 same!! They’re so good we always make them
I’m from Peru 🇵🇪 my grandma loves theses
This looks AMAZING!!! your my favourite baker of all time! and i love ur recipes you re such an inspiration.
Yes indeed. I have tried many recipes and all worked.
Hi John, I made these and my hubby eyes changed color when he tasted this treat. It was that good! Another winning cookie recipe from your playlist!
Thank you, Gracias, etc. This has been my favorite cookie since I visited Patagonia and they were everywhere! But..I love them best with powder sugar and bite-size.
I’m making the dulce de leche now and watched a few videos as my daughters South American husbands family loves these, and smaller is better as they are sweet. Your recipe looks exactly what I want!
Yay!! You mentioned my beautiful country Perú!!! Love alfajores and your recipe was amazing! As all of your recipes are! And of course I always enjoy your fantastic personality!!! You are just adorable!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I actually made some two days ago... They are truly delicious 😋. Greetings from this Chilean girl living in Germany!
Me encanta dulce de leche. I enjoy watching your vídeos and it was so nice to hear that your mom is from Mexico. I am mexica too!
I just made these cookies and they were delicious😋. I didn't have a cookie cutter so I used the small blender cover to get the Oreos round shape😀 and they came out perfect😋
You've got to be resourceful in the kitchen! Good to hear they came out well. Maybe I'll give them a try.
I’m from Bolivia and alfajores are very typical from my country too. We have lots of varieties of alfajores, but these ones are sooo good!! I’ll definitely try your recipe, every time I bake them my whole family and friends love them! Thnx a lot for all your recipes John, you rock!
Peru is where I first had these which were made by some precious friends from the church there. These bring back some sweet, literal and emotional, memories for me. When I make them I simply sprinkle with powdered sugar as I had them there. ❤️
Omg! They are my favorites Ecuadorian Alfajores....
I Love this recipe and I am going to try it. From Guyana 🇬🇾.
Great! From Argentina, dulce de leche and theses alfajores are perfect....best regards!
I glad to see that you are showing us a great recipe from Argentina, thanks!!🥰🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Tu me encantas John! You've reignited that baking spark and just in time for the holidays.
I’m from the Philippines 🇵🇭 and we also have this treat. We also call it Alfajores, the only difference is that the cookies are smaller and thicker in size. Like a perfect bite size.
John, I love your videos!!! you make everyone smile. I have never found a baking youtube channel as good as yours!!!
I went to Argentina last year and seeing this has reminded me of what I’ve been missing since then!! You have saved me 😍
Yum! “Such a treat to have with coffee in the morning... in the afternoon... or at nighttime!” I felt that in my soul 😂
Alfajores de maicena are the best!
Happy thanks giving John!
Babe i just made your recipe and it went AMAZING
Im from argentina and i call them "alfajores de maicena", most of the time they're actually gluten free
Yeeesss alfajorcitos de maicena!!!!! They are great!!!!! I'm from Argentina
My neighbor brought me some for Christmas and I loved them so much that I was hoarding them😉 I’m going to try to make some. Thank you so much and appreciate you sharing this recipe.
Me encanta Preppy Kitchen!
I can’t believe you are making alfajores😱 it’s a typical treat here in Chile 🇨🇱
Ik right!!! I was supper excited
I make them all the time for my mom. She's from Argentina. :)
his mom is mexican so maybe he ate them growing up? :)
Originally from Al-Andalus, around XII-XIII centuries. As most words starting with “al” in Spanish, deriving from Arabic. So interesting to see how it then became such a popular traditional sweet in so many American countries! It makes me want to try all varieties, yum!! :-)
I have never tried them before! I can't wait to make them this week. They look delicious!
I totally agree with the hate for the corn starch feeling. I also kinda love the feeling of flour.
Just made these and omg😫 they’re so good, my family loved them.
Típica golosina y merienda de Argentina 🇦🇷 Traditional snack/treats or popular sandwich cookie from Argentina. I love them
I'm Dominican and I absolutely LOVE alfajores!🤩 They're so good!
I'm Guatemalan, but we love alfjores with a little bit of powdered sugar on top. So good!
I went to culinary school a couple of years ago with a woman from Chile. I remember her bringing these with her to class one day for us all to try. They were so yummy!
I'm so glad you mentioned your aversion to cornflour...!!!! I've had this same problem for the last 51 years!!! Even with it in its bag in its box.... the feel of it when you have to open it...ughh...!!! I seriously thought I was the only one who suffered from this problem!!! Thank God I'm not bats...!!!
Made these yesterday!!! I'm not able to eat them myself, but gave them away and got rave reviews! I made my own dulce de leche, and was so excited and had plenty of dulce de leche left, I'm baking more today
Happy Thanksgiving John & family !! Hope you all enjoyed your day together !!
Your recipes are amazing. I am making your cinnamon rolls and sweat potatoe casserole for thanksgiving
Thank u so much for sharing your recipes
i’ve become a HUGE preppy kitchen fan over the recent weeks and i’ve made several of your recipes for my thanksgiving and the family LOVED everything ☺️ i’m thinking about making these cookies for my job’s cookie exchange, i’ll sub out the coconut for roasted pecan pieces ❤️
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THESE!! I'M Argentinean and have a baking/cooking channel here on TH-cam. I have been following you for a while and love your recipes, excited to see you already have done dulce de leche and now these!!! yay!!!

I'm a simple argentinian
I see an argentina reference on a video's title, I click
My ex is from Peru and I always loved these cookies! Although I always detected some star anise in them. I can’t wait to try these!!!
I make these all the time now thanks to your tips! Can you please make a podcast !? You have a great and relaxing voice 😅😄
This looks so good. I have seen peoplenfrom Mexico make a similar cookie, but. Made with flour. The cookie is thicker and sprinkeled with sugar before baking, filled the same way, but not rolled in anything.
I'm definitely going to make this alfajores ❤️ I saw one of your videos and you said that you where Greek!! So you are half Greek and Mexican 💖 I am half Greek and Uruguayan. Sending you many blessings, I love all of your videos
Thanks to you, I made my first dolce de leche. It is so good I had to hide it from myself. Going to try these cookies now!!
Excellent recipe! Came out great! Will make again and again!
Just made them, delicious! Thank you for the recipe😊
In Argentina we call these “Alfajores de maicena” and “maicenitas “ I’m so glad you have a recipe for them!
Omg I’m half Peruvian thank you so much for this.
Hi! You are so right these are traditional in South America. I am from Perú, we rolled them in powder sugar. Deliciosos 😋
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I worked on a project in Buenos Aires a few years ago. I came home with so many packets of alfajores. I never even thought of making them. But I can now 😀
Cookies look so perfect

OMG! I studied abroad in Argentina and miss these so much! My favorite are from Havana and covered in chocolate 😊
Those are alfajores, but not de Maizena/cornstarch
I'm from Chile and these delicious cookies are very popular there🇨🇱🩷😋 I have a couple of care packages to send from WV to CA and there will be goodie bags with these in'em. Happy holidays!
I love alfajores!!! They are delicious!
I'm from Peru and we love Alfajores here!
My husband is from Argentina and weve lived there on and off and we love these alfajores. Especially these ones are his favorites.. im going 4o surprise him with these! He will be so excited! (Luckily we find oue favorite Argentine dulce de leche in a local latin market in Philly!
I love making these.
Cornstarch feels like it shouldn't be, but I love what it does in the kitchen
Never thought my favorite childhood dessert would become trendy in a million years!
Being multi-cultural himself, John has been exposed to a wider variety of cuisine than your average home cook. He sprinkles in these regional favorites for folks like you who know what they are but perhaps have never made them, as well as for folks like me, who are not familiar but enjoy trying new things and trust that John is going to provide a fool-proof recipe.
YUM!! I went to Buenos Aires when I was 17, and fell in love with these cookies there - tried to recreate when I got home, but no dice! I'm trying your recipe to see if they capture that memory from 37 years ago!! Thanks John for this jog down memory lane!! ❤️xoxo Amy
omg i’m peruvian and i LOVE alfajores... they are my favourite dessert!!! 🤤 tysm for the recipe, i’ll definitely try it
