Condensed Milk Cookies

Versión en español

For some time I had heard of these Condensed Milk Cookies. They are simple but very nice; you can sprinkle with sugar before baking or stick them together with Dulce de Leche, Nutella or jam after baking.

They do not grow in the oven, and they keep their shape and are easy to work with. Highly recommend.

2. Add the diced butter and work with a fork or by hand until crumbs form.
