Peruvian pastry with caramel cream

Combine flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, and softened butter. Then add the egg yolks and knead by hand until a dough forms that doesn’t stick to your hands. If the dough is too crumbly, simply add more butter. Roll out portions and cut out round cookies. Bake on baking paper at medium heat (approx. 175°C, top/bottom heat) for about 10-15 minutes. Let cool, then spread a thick layer of caramel on each cookie and top with a second cookie.
