Vegan caramel cookies from Argentina

Mix the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Melt the margarine. Add the lime zest and juice to the dough. Mix and knead well. Then roll out the dough with a little flour and cut out small cookies. They shouldn’t be too thick, no more than 5 mm. I cut the cookies with a shot glass, which makes about 60 cookies, or 30 alfajores. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and place the cookies on it, leaving some space between them. Bake at about 140-150 degrees Celsius or on gas mark 2 for about 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely. Then spread them with dulce de leche and cover with another cookie, so that some of the caramel shows around the edges. Roll the sides of the cookies in desiccated coconut or decorate them with chocolate.
