These simple, buttery cookies are made with condensed milk for a rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture. This recipe is a nod to classic bakery-style biscuits but made incredibly easy for home bakers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 115g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200g sweetened condensed milk
  • 180g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in Liquids: Add the condensed milk and vanilla extract. Continue to mix until everything is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Add the flour and salt. Mix on low speed just until a soft, cohesive dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Shape & Bake: Scoop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between them. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: These cookies are perfect on their own, but they’re even better with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Make sure your butter is at true room temperature for the best results. It should be soft enough to press your finger into easily.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough once the flour is added. This keeps the cookies tender and not tough.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Baked cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
  • To get that fresh-baked, gooey center again, microwave a cookie for 5-10 seconds.
