  Using the large scalloped cutter, cut shapes from the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet. Using the small scalloped cutter, cut a hole from the middle of half the cookies.

  Repeat with the remaining dough, incorporating the scraps until all the dough is used you should have 10 solid cookies and 10 cut out cookies.

  Let cookies cool slightly on cookie sheets and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  Sift confectioner's sugar onto the cut out cookies. Spread a heaping spoonful dulce de leche onto the underside of the solid cookies.

  Carefully place a cut out cookie on top.
