Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Milk (optional, for adjusting dough consistency)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. If the dough appears too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk and mix again.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Gently press down on each dough ball with the back of a fork to slightly flatten them, creating a criss-cross pattern if desired.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid over-baking to maintain a soft texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your Sweet Milk Cookies alongside a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
