Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup (80ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar together for about 3-4 minutes until fluffy and pale.
- Add the condensed milk and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined and glossy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Shape the dough into small balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball slightly to about 1/4 inch thick and sprinkle sea salt flakes on top.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set but not browned.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
If cookies spread too much, chill dough for 15 minutes before baking. Start checking cookies at 11 minutes to avoid overbaking. Use sea salt flakes for best flavor. Cookies crisp up more as they cool. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
