WHAT ARE ALFAJORES?
Alfajores are traditional Argentine pastries made with two delicate, melt-in-your-mouth cookies embracing a luscious dollop of creamy dulce de leche caramel. Longing to share the taste of her childhood with her own children, Lucila started baking her authentic, artisanal alfajores in Chicago.

Yerba Mate
Yerba mate (pronounced yehr-buh mah-tay) tastes like a tea and hits you like a coffee—and yet, it's technically neither. If you're looking for a boost of energy that doesn't come from an espresso bean, look no further than this South American super-beverage made from the steeped leaves and twigs of an indigenous plant, which has been providing locals with a natural pick-me-up for centuries. Herbal yerba mate tea contains roughly as much caffeine as coffee, about 80 milligrams per cup. There's a time-honored ritual around the consumption of yerba mate... it requires a mate (dried gourd), a bombilla (a special straw for drinking that filters out the leaves), and a thermos for transporting the hot water. One designated person—called the cebador—fills the mate about two-thirds full with the leaves and adds a little bit of warm water to release the flavors. The cebador then inserts the bombilla into the mate...

Dulce de Leche
DULCE DE LECHE... South America's best export, the MVP of so many recipes, and the heart of all of our Alfajores cookies. It is widely used and consumed throughout all of South America. In Colombia it is called "arequipe". In Perú, Chile and Bolivia it's called "manjar blanco." In Mexico it's called "cajeta" (made with goat's milk instead of cow's milk). But it really doesn't matter what you call it; dulce de leche is one of those amazing sweets that goes with almost everything! It tastes a lot like caramel, but has a creamier consistency since it is made from gently simmering milk and sugar together. One of my favorite memories as a child growing up in Argentina was when my father Guido would go from time to time to visit one of his maternal uncles who owned a bakery in town. These visits would always be on a...

why do most people compare the alfajores to shortbread cookies? It might be the texture... however, if an alfajor cookie dough is made right, the cookie discs should be very light... the amount of butter we use to make our alfajores is nowhere near the amount of butter used to make shortbread cookies

Let customers speak for us
from 208 reviewsOrder came quickly. Ordered for an event and received the order a week before. Placed it in the refrigerator until the day of. The Alfajores were very fresh tasting. Would recommend.
Great Holiday gift, and a super treat to watch a Christmas movie ;)
We first had Lucila's Alfajores in 2013 and then moved out of Chicago in 2023... after 10 years in the big city, the thing we miss the most is these cookies. Just unbelievably delicious. Would do anything to afford them as a subscription!!!
I ate 4 of them the day after Thanksgiving alone, and about 7 or 8 over the 4 day weekend.
These treats are the absolute BEST EVER!!
Everyone who has ever tried these are smitten. These alfajores are fresh, delicious, and arrived quickly. Thank you!
We love Lucila's alfajores! They are delicious, nicely packaged, and our orders were received quickly. Thank you!
I sent Lucila's finest to my daughter in college -- she said they were gooooood, and gave me a heart message
Riquísimos y perfectos, cómo en Argentina.
I tried all the flavors. The dark chocolate, white chocolate, wava and dulce de leche with coconut. All of them are very delicious they melt in your mouth. I highly recommend them.
Love these Alfajores the chocolate and the dulce de leche are amazingly tasty and fresh, this is very different for my the ones purchased on any store l.
Always tasty. It's great that you can customize your order.
I order from Lucila's quite often...they are addicting!
These alfajores were beautifully packed when you slide open the box they are in a nice sealed type of packaging that keeps these treats intact! There was a wonderful card in there giving a bio about the Argentinian cookies and the Baker and her love for making these beautiful little treats. I am truly impressed! ❤️ I cannot wait to take a sweet bite out of my lovely treats I know they will as be delicious as they look..
