# Ingredients:
→ Core Ingredients
01 -
1 cup of butter, left out until soft
02 -
1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk
03 -
2 cups of regular all-purpose flour
04 -
3 teaspoons of baking powder
05 -
1/2 cup of powdered sugar to sprinkle over
# Instructions:
01 -
Whip the butter in a bowl for around 3 minutes, until it’s fluffy and has gotten light in texture.
02 -
Little by little, pour in the condensed milk while continuing to beat. Keep it going for 2 minutes until it looks smooth and mixed well. If you’re thinking about adding any flavor extract, now’s the time—up to 2 teaspoons.
03 -
Scrape down the edges of the mixing bowl, then beat for another 1-2 minutes to make sure everything is super smooth and fully blended together.
04 -
Toss in the flour and baking powder, and mix it into the butter mixture until everything just comes together. Feel free to experiment by folding in about 1 cup of extras like chopped nuts, chocolate pieces, or dried fruit at this stage.
05 -
With a cookie scoop, drop evenly-sized dough balls onto a baking sheet that’s been lined with parchment paper, spacing them out by 2 inches.
06 -
Pop them into an oven preheated to 320°F (160°C) for about 12 minutes, until they’re perfectly baked.
07 -
Let the cookies sit on the baking tray for 5 minutes to settle, then move them to a cooling rack. While they’re still slightly warm, sprinkle on a generous amount of powdered sugar. Make sure they cool completely before storing them.
# Notes:
01 -
Add up to 2 teaspoons of flavor extracts to customize the cookies.
02 -
Feel free to mix in up to 1 cup of add-ons like chocolate chips or dried fruits.
