Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder

Topping

  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

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 you choose to add any flavor extract, ensure it does not exceed 2 teaspoons and add it now.
  3. Scrape and Mix: Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat the mixture for another 1-2 minutes to ensure smooth consistency.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the flour and baking powder to the butter mixture. Beat until just incorporated. If desired, fold in up to 1 cup of mix-ins such as chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or candies at this stage.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into evenly sized mounds. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C) and bake the cookies for 12 minutes.
  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 the cookies with confectioners’ sugar.
  9. Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving to ensure the perfect texture.

Notes

  • For additional flavor, try adding 1 teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract during the wet mixing stage.
  • You can incorporate mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruits to customize the cookies.
  • Ensure butter is softened but not melted for best texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough once flour is added, to keep the cookies tender.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • These cookies freeze well before baking; thaw before baking as directed.
