Filling Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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!
Servings
These luscious cookies can be served at any gathering, making them a great addition to birthday parties 🎉, family reunions 👪, or simply enjoyed on a cozy afternoon ☕️. Here are some fun ideas:

Variations
If you need to cater to different dietary needs, try these simple variations of the recipe:
- Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check that your baking powder and sweetened condensed milk are gluten-free as well! 🌾
- Vegan: For a vegan option, replace the butter with vegan margarine and use a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) as a substitute for the egg. Use vegan sweetened condensed milk or make your own! 🌱
Faq
- What if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough sticks to your hands, it may be too warm or moist. Try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, which will make it easier to handle.
- Can I use oil instead of butter?
While butter gives the cookies a creamy flavor, you can use coconut oil for a dairy-free option. Keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly!
- What can I do if I don’t have a piping tool for the embellishments?
You can use a toothpick or a fork to create beautiful designs on the cookies, ensuring they look just as lovely!
- How can I tell when the cookies are done baking?
Look for a slight golden color on the edges, and keep an eye out for the center; it should be firm but not hard. They'll continue to bake a bit as they cool!
- Can these cookies be frozen for later?
Absolutely! Make sure to layer them between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container to prevent sticking.
- What's the best way to store these cookies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also keep them in the fridge for longer freshness, but bring them back to room temp before serving for the best flavor!
