Directions
- Step 1Whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, cream of tartar, and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in a bowl.

- Step 4Bake until just golden around bottom edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 1 minute, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Step 5Spread dulce de leche on the flat side of half of the cookies, dividing evenly. Sandwich with remaining cookies.
