How to Make Best Ever Sweetened Condensed Milk Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk using a mixer on low speed until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract on medium speed for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the dough into three equal portions.
  7. Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll out easily.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion of dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to create desired shapes.
  9. Place cookies about 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  10. Sprinkle with colored sugar, if desired.
  11. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Once cooled, decorate with your favorite sugar glaze or royal icing.
