Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (300g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) self-rising flour
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Soften the butter by letting 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until soft but not melted.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with 1 cup (300g) sweetened condensed milk. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually sift in 1 1/2 cups (180g) self-rising flour. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Fold in about 1/4 cup sprinkles gently to distribute evenly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop small rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Centers will remain soft but firm up as they cool.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Softening the butter properly is key to tender cookies. Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent toughness. Chilling the dough for 10-15 minutes can help cookies hold their shape better. Watch cookies closely after 10 minutes to avoid over-browning. For a crispier cookie, bake a couple of minutes longer but watch carefully.
