The most common Chilean empanadas is prepared with dough made of white flour and filled mainly with ground beef and onion, a mix that is called pino, in addition to hard-boiled egg, olives, and raisins. The contents are wrapped in the dough, forming a semicircle, and baked in the oven.

Alfrajores are sandwich cookies filled with dulce de leche (a creamy caramel confection made from milk and sugar) and dried grated coconut around on the edge.
