Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (300g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups (180g) self-rising flour (or 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour + 2 teaspoons baking powder + ½ teaspoon salt)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt per cookie
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk and self-rising flour in a mixing bowl. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Shape the dough into small balls about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies chewy. Chill dough for 10 minutes if too sticky. Watch oven closely to avoid overbaking. Use flaky sea salt for best flavor contrast. Cookies spread slightly, so space them well on the baking sheet.
