Allow the dough to be firm and cool down in the refrigerator before you begin the process of baking.
Roll out the dough and then cut small circular pieces from the flattened dough. These cookie pieces should be allowed to rest in the refrigerator for a while.
The best part about baking these cookies is that you do not need a lot of time to bake them since they are small in size.

How to make the Dulce de Leche
Now, coming to the most interesting part of making Dulce de leche! Here are some tips that will help you make this dessert come alive pretty quickly and successfully.
If the dulce de leches are not available in the market near your place, then perhaps it is a sign for you to make them at home. This way, you can monitor the consistency of the dulce de leche as well.

Now, the amount of dulce de leche that you are going to need for these cookies is subjective, given how high you want the cookie cones to turn out.
Once you are done with the process of arranging and shaping the cookies, you can lay them on the baking sheet and put them inside the refrigerator.
This helps the consistency of the dulce de leche to tighten up, and your cookies turn out crispy and yet creamy in every bite. Imagine the crumbling cookies at the bottom with the smooth cream on top. Isn't it the best experience ever?
You can enhance the flavor of the cookies with some chocolate later on.

Finally comes our favorite part, where the chocolate layering is done. You are just one step away from enjoying the most gorgeous Argentinian dessert, the conitos.
Some butter is blended with the chocolate since you do not want the chocolate to break and fall apart.
For a smooth and luscious consistency, butter must be melted with chocolate in the microwave. Dip the cookie cones in the chocolate and then leave them to dry.
Place it inside the refrigerator and allow the cookie to cool down. Delectable, rich and luxurious, we cannot wait for you to try it out.
