Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup evaporated milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
(For best texture, stir by hand).
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
Sprinkle with desired crumb mixture (optional - recipe can be added).
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
