My friends from an Ann Arbor eating and reading group told me about this and I couldn't believe it. I had brought over a box of alfajores to one of the meetings, a little box that I had been saving for a special occasion. My mother-in-law had brought the alfajores from Peru a week before. Now, I have to tell you, Peru was at war with Chile in the 19th century over land. The war these days is over who really invented Pisco Sour and ceviche! I say peace and prosper...and I'll have to go get some alfajores in Ann Arbor soon. Wait for me..... Maitelates?

After trying them in her flavors, I can understand why the traditional cookies of Chile, on which these are based are so popular in her home country. They never last long at our house.
