Kim was an officer in the Border police (magav) and commander of the patrol unit. She prevented many terrorist attacks and saved many lives. Kim was known as a fierce girl, a lioness. She loved tigers very much – in her room she hung a large picture of a cheetah that has fire in the eyes. Kim was exactly the same, fire constantly burning in her eyes. Kim had a saying that she always liked to share with her trainees – “The animal in me is only sleeping, it is not dead”. Her family shared: “We are sure that Kim is only sleeping. Her spirit is alive. The fire in her eyes and the lioness that is deep inside her will continue to accompany us every minute and second of every day.”
Kim was murdered during the terrorist attack at the Nova party in Re’im on October 7th, 2023 while spending time with her friend Raz Mizrahi z”l. She was 22 years old, survived by her parents and 2 brothers
Ingredients
Dough:
200 grams of softened butter
100 grams of powdered sugar
4 yolks of Large eggs
1 +1/3 cups cornflour
1.5 cups white flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda powder
Filling:
1 cup dulce de leche
Coating:
1 cup coconut chips
Preparation
Dough: put the butter and powdered sugar in a mixer with a hook for a smooth and airy mixture.
Add egg yolks one by one and mix until the mixture is blended together.
Sift together the rest of the ingredients, add to the mixture, process only until a uniform dough and form into a ball.
Put in the fridge for an hour or two to cool down – to easier kneading of the dough.
Heat the oven to 160 degrees.
Transfer the dough to baking paper and roll the dough into a 1/2 cm thick sheet and cut into circles.
Place evenly on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for 10 minutes, until the cookies begin to turn golden on the edges and still light in the center. Cool completely.
Fill the alfajores cookies: spread a teaspoon of dulce de leche on half of the cookies.
Attach an empty cookie to them, to create an alfajores cookie sandwich.
Press the cookies a little together, so that the filling peeks out from the edges (if you like a lot of dulce de leche, like Kimi would have liked, you can spread it generously on all sides). Roll the cookies in coconut.
