1. 1Step 1: Sieve the flour along with the baking powder into a bowl.
2. 2Step 2: Add the softened butter and mix well. Add the vinegar and mix again; this can be done by hand or on a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. We'll obtain a crumbly mixture.
3. 3Step 3: Then add the eggs and mix to homogenize. The dough should hardly stick to your fingers; if it does we'll add some more flour.
4. 4Step 4: Wrap the dough in a piece of plastic film and leave to rest for at least 30 minutes, so that the gluten can relax.
5. 5Step 5: Place the dough on a lightly floured counter and roll it with a rolling pin until very thin. Cut 2 inches (5cm) circles with a cookie cutter.
6. 6Step 6: Place the cookies on an oven tray, pierce them with a fork so that they don't expand in excess and bake the cookies 10-12 minutes in an oven preheated to 180º (no convection).
7. 7Step 7: Take them out to cool on a wire rack.
8. 8Step 8: When the cookies are cool spread in teaspoon of dulce de leche on half the cookies and sandwiched them with the other half. There you have the Chilean alfajores.
