Lucuma, an unusual tropical fruit popular in Peru and Chile, is an acquired taste for some people. Others just can't get enough of it. People seem to either love it or hate it, maybe because it has a somewhat chalky texture. These cookies are great way to introduce the flavor of lucuma to the uninitiated, since chocolate and lucuma go so well together and the dulce de leche masks any chalkiness.
