Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Start by *melting the butter* and allowing it to cool. In a mixing bowl, *whisk the eggs with sugar* until well combined. Add the cooled butter and milk, *mixing until smooth*.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually *add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture*, stirring until a soft dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and allow it to *rest for 5-10 minutes*.

Step 2

Shape and Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to *180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)*. Take portions of the dough and *roll them into balls*, each weighing about 30 grams (1 ounce). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly *flatten each ball to form hemispheres*.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for *15 minutes*, ensuring the tops remain pale. While they are still warm, *carefully create a hollow* in the center of each half using a knife.

Step 3

Fill and Chill the Cookies

In the hollows, *spoon in a generous amount of the sweetened condensed milk*. Then, *join the two halves together*, and place them in the refrigerator for *30 minutes* to set.

Step 4

Decorate the Cookies

In two separate bowls, pour *50 milliliters (1/4 cup)* of milk into each and add a few drops of food coloring, mixing well. Using a pastry brush, *lightly coat the cookies with the colored milk* and immediately roll them in sugar to stick.

Chill the decorated cookies in the refrigerator for an additional *hour* before serving. For a final touch, *garnish with mint leaves* before presenting.

Variations

If you're looking to adapt this recipe to suit specific dietary needs, don’t worry; it's easy to make gluten-free and vegan variations! 🌟

For a **gluten-free** option, simply swap regular flour for a gluten-free all-purpose mix. Ensure that your baking powder is also gluten-free, and you'll have cookies that everyone can enjoy!

Going **vegan**? Replace the eggs with flaxseed meal—a simple mix of 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water will do the trick. You can use almond milk instead of regular milk, and opt for a plant-based butter alternative to keep your cookies completely vegan.

Whatever your dietary needs, these cookies can be made delightful for everyone! So get creative and enjoy! 🎉

Faq

  • I'm a beginner! How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

    Look for a light golden color on the bottom and edges, while the tops should remain pale. They might look slightly underbaked, but they'll firm up as they cool.

  • What if I don’t have milk on hand?

    You can substitute milk with water or a non-dairy alternative, like almond or oat milk, for a similar effect in the cookie dough.

  • I'm intermediate! Can I freeze these cookies after baking?

    Yes, you can freeze them! Just ensure they're fully cooled and pack them in airtight containers. They're best enjoyed within three months.

  • What can I do to enhance the flavor of the dough?

    Add a little more vanilla extract or experiment with other extracts like almond or orange for a unique twist!

  • As an experienced baker, how can I ensure my cookies don’t spread too much while baking?

    Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies maintain their shape and prevent excessive spreading.

  • Can I add other fillings to these cookies?

    Absolutely! Try fruit jams, chocolate ganache, or cream cheese filling for a delicious variation!
