Preparation Steps
- Cream the softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate the egg yolks into the butter-sugar mixture and mix until thick and pale yellow.
- Sift together the self-rising flour and cornstarch, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients to form a dough.
- Knead the dough gently into a smooth ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 10 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough to about ½ inch thickness, then cut into 3-inch circles.
- Place cookie circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick each lightly with a fork.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool the cookies on a wire rack for 30 minutes before spreading with manjar blanco and topping with another cookie.
- Dust the assembled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
