Do any of you watch 30 Rock? If so, you'll know about Liz Lemon's claim to fame "Deal breakers". Basically, Liz Lemon finds things that are dealbreakers in relationships and she'll say, "That's a deal breaker!"
For example, Liz goes on a talkshow and doles out advice to audience members. "You have sexually transmitted crazy mouth! Deal breaker!" she tells one woman.
Well, Liz finally gets a book deal, which then turns into a TV deal and Liz imagines herself as a star as she sings, "I'm a STAR! I'm on TOP! Somebody bring me some HAAAAAAM!"
Well, these cookies are what I call "Diet breakers". And my version of the song goes, "I love these! These are great! Somebody roll me out of HEEEEERE!!!"
Really. I mean, just really. These cookies are dangerous. Soft and chewy dulce de leche cookeis (DULCE DE LECHE COOKIES) filled with more creamy dulce de leche and then sandwiched with another soft and chewy dulce de leche cookie (DULCE DE LECHE COOKIE!).
Heaven. Sublime. Diet breaker.
Check out Jodie of Beansy Loves Cake for the amazing (AMAZING!!) recipe.
They look amazing with that fluffy dulce de leche filling! I went temporarily insane and filled some of mine with ganache--they were really god.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought they were "dangerous"! These look extremely dangerous - but they're small. So you can eat more... right?

My cookies look just awful, but they taste so good.

These cookies would absolutely be a dietbreaker for someone on a diet. Can you say ADDICTIVE? So good.

Are these the same thing as alfajores (sp)? Doesn't really matter because they look like the best way (or maybe not) to start a day's breakfast. :)

I eat danger for breakfast! Especially if they're made with dulce de leche . . . I just bookmarked a post from someone on how to make your own DdeL in a crockpot (from a can of sweetened condensed milk). But any of the methods, whether they involved stovetop, microwave or slow cooker, all warn about exploding cans! WTH?! I'll just go with Beansy Loves Cake's way and buy a can of ready made.
These are indeed diet busters, but what a way to let yourself go! 8-D

I love Liz Lemon and I have a feeling I could fall in love with these cookies. The recent episodes with Michael Sheen, her soulmate to settle for, were hilarious!
Posted by: Nicole | March 23, 2010 at 09:32 AM
Oh, yes!! Definitely dangerous. I had to freeze mine just to make sure I didn't eat them.
I love the dulce filling. Talk about over the top.
Those look heavenly.

Why you gotta go mention diet and dulce de leche in the same post? You just totally killed my cookie buzz! Now I'm sad. I need a cookie. Damn. It's a vicious cycle.

Definitely diet breakers! I couldn't stop licking the dulce de leche spoon when I was making it! I had to pass these off to a friend.

Oh, your cookies look incredible! They are indeed diet breakers (along with numerous other things from Baking . . . sigh). But worth it!
Posted by: Cathy | March 23, 2010 at 10:31 AM
These look fantastic and I wish mine had turned out like this! Maybe it's a good thing they didn't--diet breakers indeed!
Posted by: Mary | March 23, 2010 at 10:41 AM
Yours look great! I am gonna make these soon. They seem sweet, simple, and tasty. I am gonna plan my week better to fit them in!

Wow these cookies are T-R-O-U-B-L-E! I can't stop staring at them!
Posted by: Phyllis | March 23, 2010 at 11:45 AM
I hear you... I baked about 1/3 of the batch and stuck the rest of the dough in the fridge. After plowing through them in about 10 seconds flat I tossed the rest of the dough in the trash... it was just too good to finish. Anyway, yours look fantastic! Fun post :)

Oh, I love that Liz Lemon. I had to remove some of them from the house and bring them to my neighbors because I ate one every time I walked by!
Posted by: Mary | March 23, 2010 at 12:15 PM
