CONDENSED MILK COOKIES WITH ONLY 3 INGREDIENTS
Ingredients (Makes Approximately 14 Cookies)
- 225 g rice flour or fine corn flour (cornstarch)
- 125 g sweetened condensed milk
- 100 g unsalted butter
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Instructions
The first thing we’ll do is take all the ingredients out of the refrigerator about 1 hour before starting so they can come to room temperature.
(Or, if you’re impatient like me…) preheat the oven to 30°C (86°F) and place the butter and condensed milk inside for no more than 10 minutes if they’ve been refrigerated. Be careful not to leave them too long, or the butter may melt completely!
Beat the butter and condensed milk together until you have a smooth, uniform mixture.
Add the lemon zest and then add the flour in two batches.
Knead the dough by hand on your kitchen counter until it becomes smooth, easy to handle, and no longer sticks to your hands.
Roll out the dough and cut the cookies into any shape you like.
Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes, depending on their thickness.
These cookies won’t turn golden brown like many other cookies because they remain quite pale. You’ll know they’re ready when the tops begin to change slightly in color and texture.
Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Optional Fillings and Toppings
When the cookies are cool, you can spread them with:
- Chocolate spread
- Strawberry jam
- Lemon cream
Easy Lemon Cream
Simply fold together:
- 120 g sweetened condensed milk
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 6 teaspoons)
Mix gently using folding motions until smooth.
You’ll get a thick, spreadable lemon cream that’s perfect for cookies, cakes, and other desserts, with a wonderfully fresh lemon flavor.
Chocolate Decoration
You can also decorate the cookies with melted baking chocolate.
About 30 g of melted chocolate is more than enough to decorate this batch of cookies.
Enjoy!
Now all that’s left to do is sit back, enjoy your homemade condensed milk cookies, and share them with family and friends. 🍪🍋✨
