Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, combine softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is fluffy and creamy, which should take about 3 minutes.

Add in the egg and mix well until fully incorporated. Next, slowly add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the ingredients together until a soft dough forms.

Step 2

Shape and Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take small portions of the dough and shape them into little balls. Place the balls in a special nut-shaped mold if available, and press them down slightly to fit the mold.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden. Watch them closely to avoid overbaking!

Step 3

Prepare the Cream Filling

While the cookies are baking, prepare the cream filling. In a medium bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth.

Step 4

Assemble the Cookies

Once the cookies have cooled down, take the half shells and fill one side with the prepared cream filling. Then, cap it with another shell to form a lovely sandwich.

Enjoy your delicious cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, and share them with friends and family!

Servings

These scrumptious cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but don't worry if you have leftovers! They pair wonderfully with your favorite hot beverage. Picture this: a sunny afternoon picnic with a basket brimming with these lovely treats. **Serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate for a cheeky twist!** Imagine your friends reaching for more, enchanted by the melt-in-your-mouth texture and the rich flavor! 🍪✨

For an extra special touch, consider accompanying them with fruit preserves or a selection of cheeses. The balance of sweetness and savory pairs beautifully, making it a perfect addition to any gathering. **Transform your tea time into a delightful little party!** ☕️🎉

Variations

If you're looking to make these cookies a little different, consider these simple variations:

Gluten-Free Version: Simply substitute regular flour with gluten-free flour blend. This way, you can still indulge without worries! **🌾🚫**

Vegan Option: Swap out the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water, and use vegan butter. You’ll get the same delicious result while keeping it plant-based. **🌱🍪**

Faq

  • What should I do if my dough is too sticky?

    If your dough is sticking to your hands or surfaces, sprinkle a little bit of flour while kneading it. This should help manage the consistency.

  • How can I tell if my cookies are done baking?

    Cookies are typically done when they are golden brown on the edges and still slightly soft in the center. They will firm up as they cool.

  • Can I add nuts or chocolate chips to the cookie dough?

    Absolutely! Adding nuts or chocolate can elevate the flavor and add a delightful crunch. Just be sure to chop them into small pieces so they mix well.

  • What’s the best way to store my cookies?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer freshness, you can freeze them; just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper!

  • Can I make the dough in advance and refrigerate it?

    Yes! You can prepare the dough, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 2 days before baking.

  • How can I enhance the flavor of the condensed milk?

    Using a high-quality brand of condensed milk makes a difference. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor!
