Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually mix in the sweetened condensed milk, beating for 2 minutes until fully combined. If desired, add up to 2 teaspoons of an extract for flavoring at this stage.
  3. Scrape and Mix: Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat the mixture for another 1-2 minutes to ensure a smooth consistency.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the flour and baking powder to the butter mixture and beat until just incorporated. Optionally fold in up to 1 cup of mix-ins such as chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or candies.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into evenly sized mounds. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C) and bake for 12 minutes until set.
  7. Cool on the Pan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
  8. Transfer and Dust: Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack. Use a sifter to generously dust with confectioners’ sugar.
  9. Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Optionally add up to 2 teaspoons of vanilla or almond extract for enhanced flavor.
  • You can fold in mix-ins such as chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or candies for added texture.
  • Do not overbake; cookies should be set but still tender.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Ensure butter is softened for easier creaming and better dough consistency.
