Condensed Milk Biscuits

Condensed Milk Biscuits

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Additional sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This will ensure the dry ingredients are well combined.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the sweetened condensed milk to the butter, mixing until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the sweet aroma and taste.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until a dough forms.
7. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring each cookie is evenly spaced. Press each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to flatten them gently.
8. If desired, sprinkle the tops of each cookie with a pinch of additional sugar for an extra crispy texture.
9. Bake the cookies in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Tips:

• For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the dough.
• To keep cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
• If the dough feels too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before baking.
