Easy Condensed Milk Cookies Recipe at Home

First, in a large mixing bowl, cream together the *soft unsalted butter* and *powdered sugar* along with the *vanilla sugar* until the mixture is *smooth and creamy*.

This may take a few minutes, so be patient. Make sure there are no lumps left in your mixture.

Next, add the *large egg* to the mixture. Beat it in with a whisk or electric mixer until the mixture is *light and fluffy*.

This step is crucial as it helps to incorporate air into the batter, giving your cookies their delightful texture.

Now, sift together the *all-purpose flour*, *baking powder*, and *salt* in a separate bowl. Gradually add this to your wet ingredients, mixing until a *soft, non-sticky dough forms*.

Be careful not to overmix as that can lead to tougher cookies.

Take portions of the dough weighing about *16-17 grams* and roll them into balls. You should be able to make about 30 cookies from this recipe.

Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and *freeze them for 10-15 minutes*. This helps them hold their shape while baking.

After freezing, take each ball and cut it in half. Place the cut side down on the baking tray.

Pinch the top slightly and use a toothpick to create decorative lines on the surface. This not only looks great but also adds texture to your cookies.

Preheat your oven to *180-190 degrees Celsius* (about *350-375 degrees Fahrenheit*). Bake the cookies for *15-20 minutes* until they are *slightly golden brown*.

Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking; they should remain tender inside.

Once baked, allow the cookies to *cool completely*. Once cooled, spread a layer of *sweetened condensed milk* on the flat side of one half and sandwich it with another half.

Press gently to combine. Your delicious cookies are now ready to be enjoyed!
