Plain Condensed Milk Cookies are quick and easy homemade treats made with just flour, baking powder, softened butter, vanilla extract, and condensed milk which will make these pastries just the right amount of sweet without the need for additional sweeteners.
Made with a crumbly, egg-free dough, these delicious biscuits, perfect for breakfast or a snack for the whole family, are also a great way to reuse leftover condensed milk from other recipes.
If you like, you can enjoy the cookies at the end of a meal with a dusting of powdered sugar, you can finish them with flaked coconut, or you can flavor them with a pinch of cinnamon or the grated zest of a lemon.
