Condensed Milk Cookies

Today the weather is miserable, cold and raining. The perfect day for a special sweet treat!!!

I always keep a couple of cans of condensed milk in the cupboard, Sean has a really sweet tooth and he loves the stuff! But best to hide it from him...

 This cookie recipe was a family favorite growing up, my mom would make them really huge and golden. Yum! And I make them for the kids. Be warned they are addictive and really delicious! 

Condensed Milk Cookies

250g margarine

3/4 cup sugar

1 tin (225g) condensed milk

3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2 level teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream the margarine and sugar.

Add condensed milk and mix.

Add flour, vanilla, baking powder and salt.

Knead into a stiff dough.

Roll into small balls, place on a baking sheet and flatten. They spread!

Bake at 190 deg Celcius (374 deg Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

 Makes 5 dozen

Because this recipe makes so much, I freeze two thirds of the dough.

When you take the roll of dough out of the freezer - it will defrost quickly, so slice the cookies and bake immediately or you will be left with a big sticky mess.

With this batch of cookies, I melted a handful of chocolate buttons and used as frosting - oh so yum!

Take Care everyone,
