Alright, let’s talk about makin’ them sweetened condensed milk cookies. You know, the kind that just melt in your mouth? Yeah, them ones.
First off, you gotta get your stuff together. Don’t go runnin’ around like a chicken with its head cut off later ’cause you forgot somethin’. You need butter, the real stuff, not that fake margarine stuff. And then, of course, you need that sweetened condensed milk. The sticky, sweet stuff in a can? That’s the ticket.
Now, get yourself a big bowl. I like them old-fashioned glass ones, but whatever you got will do. Dump your butter in there. Make sure it’s soft, ya hear? Not melted, just soft. Like, you can poke it with your finger and it gives a little. Then, you pour in that sweetened condensed milk. All of it. Don’t be stingy now.
- Butter – Gotta be soft, not melted.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk – The whole can, don’t skimp.
- Flour – Just regular flour, nothin’ fancy.
- Vanilla – A little splash for flavor.
- Maybe some nuts or somethin’ – If you’re feelin’ fancy.
Next, you gotta mix it all up. I use my old mixer, the one my husband got me back in… well, never mind when. It still works good, though. You start slow, so you don’t splash that sticky milk all over your kitchen. Then, once it’s kinda mixed together, you turn it up a bit. You want it nice and creamy. Like, smooth as a baby’s bottom, you know?
Then comes the flour. Don’t just dump it all in at once! You gotta add it little by little, mixin’ it in as you go. If you dump it all in, you’ll have a lumpy mess, and nobody wants lumpy cookies. Keep mixin’ until it all comes together. It should be a nice, soft dough. Not too sticky, not too dry.
Now, if you wanna get fancy, you can add some vanilla. Just a little splash, that’s all you need. And if you’re feelin’ real adventurous, you can throw in some chopped nuts or somethin’. I like walnuts, but pecans are good too. Or even chocolate chips, if you got ‘em. Just mix it all in, nice and gentle.
Alright, time to get these cookies on a baking sheet. I just use a regular old spoon and drop ‘em on there. Don’t worry about makin’ ‘em perfect, they’ll taste good no matter what they look like. Just make sure you leave a little space between ‘em, so they don’t stick together when they bake.
Now, pop ‘em in the oven. I usually bake ‘em at 350 degrees, for about 10 to 12 minutes. But you gotta keep an eye on ‘em, you know? Every oven’s different. You want ‘em to be golden brown around the edges, but still soft in the middle. Don’t burn ’em, now! That’s the worst thing ever.
Once they’re done, take ‘em out of the oven and let ‘em cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, you can move ‘em to a wire rack to cool completely. But let’s be honest, who can wait that long? I always sneak one or two while they’re still warm. They’re just so good, all gooey and sweet.
And that’s it! See? Sweetened condensed milk cookies ain’t so hard to make. Just follow these steps, and you’ll have a batch of delicious cookies in no time. Perfect for afternoon snacks, potlucks, or just treatin’ yourself. Now go on, get bakin’!
Extra tips for perfect cookies: If you want chewier cookies, use a little less flour. If you like them crispy, add a little bit more. Also, don’t overmix the dough, it makes the cookies tough. And if your dough is too sticky to handle, just stick it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up.
One more thing! If you don’t have a mixer, you can mix it all up with a spoon, but it will take a bit more effort and elbow grease, let me tell ya. So you will get a good workout too. Another option is to just use your hands and really squish everything together. That way you’ll really know you’ve put your heart into it when making these cookies. And you know the cookies are gonna be good if you make them with your own two hands. Makes them taste better. You see?
So, there you have it. Now you know how to make some good ol’ sweetened condensed milk cookies. Go on, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
