These buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are made with just five simple ingredients and no eggs. Lightly sweet and delicately dusted with powdered sugar, they have a soft, shortbread-like texture that’s perfect with tea or coffee. Bonus: no chill time needed!
1 cup butter, softened
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and fluffy.
Sift in flour and baking powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Scoop or roll dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are just starting to turn golden.
Cool completely, then dust generously with confectioners’ sugar.
