Alfajores in Palm Beach/Broward?
Hello there. I have less than 2 weeks left in Florida and I've just been dreaming about alfajores and have had many unusual coincidences with this crumbly sticky goodness. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get some alfajores in the Palm Beach/Broward area. Basic alfajores are a South American cornstarch sandwich "cookie" filled with dulce de leche.
The only place I have seen them is on the counters of La Granja, the Peruvian chicken place in Greenacres (Lake Worth Rd). They are pretty good and homemade, but I'm hoping I could find somewhere (bakery, cafe, restaurant) that serves more decadent versions or has more varieties. I can't even find the mediocre imported packaged alfajores in any of the latin food markets I've been to. Perhaps I've overlooked them on the cookie shelves. Hmm..my craving is so strong, I might have to end up making some myself..heheheh. Any recommended recipes as backup? >=) Thank you very much.

If you don't mind driving just a little further south, right over the Broward border in Aventura is an Argentinean specialty food shop called La Estancia. They have a number of different boxed alfajores, and maybe some homemade as well.
We used to have a Dulcianna in that area too. That was bliss!
P.S.: it looks like there's a La Estancia in Miramar, too. I've never been to that location, though.
