Cornstarch-soft cookies sandwiching slow caramel, the Latin dulce classic. Crisp at the edges, chewy in the middle, with every bite loaded. Best the day they are baked, but they keep three days in a tin.

Chef's tip

Weigh your flour if you can; cup measures can be off by twenty percent either way.
