Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Once combined, add the melted and cooled butter into the bowl. Continue mixing until the ingredients are entirely incorporated.
Next, gradually add the flour and use your hands to knead the dough until it reaches a uniform thick consistency. If you prefer a crumbly texture, use softened butter instead of melted.
After preparing the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 40 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take the dough out of the refrigerator and scoop out small portions to form balls. Each ball should weigh about 7 grams.
Lightly grease your baking tray with vegetable oil and place each dough ball into the tray, ensuring sufficient space between them.
Step 3
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown color. This ensures they are baked evenly and achieve a delightful texture.
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool properly before handling, as they will be hot.
Step 4
Once the cookies are cool, take each half and fill them generously with sweetened condensed milk. Make sure to pack it tightly to not lose any of the delicious filling.
After filling them, carefully press two halves together to form a complete cookie. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 7 hours to let the flavors meld and the filling set.
Step 5
After chilling, your delicious condensed milk cookies are ready to serve! Enjoy these treats during family gatherings or special occasions, and watch them disappear quickly.
Servings
Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients. Choose one with a non-slip bottom to make mixing easier!
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure even baking.
This handy tool helps you portion the dough uniformly, ensuring evenly sized cookies every time.
A cooling rack is important for allowing air to circulate around your freshly baked cookies, preventing sogginess.
