Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

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

Shape the Cookies

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

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

Assemble the Cookies

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.
