Condensed milk cookies
Description
Delicious cookies. I like this recipe because it contains no eggs (they aren't always available when needed) and has no complicated steps. The cookies turn out crispy and tasty. At first glance, they might seem extremely sweet, but they're not. The sugar is noticeable, but doesn't make them overly sweet. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Pour in the condensed milk. Knead the dough. The condensed milk will act as a binding agent in the dough and provide the necessary amount of liquid and fats.

Step 5
We'll get a smooth, homogeneous dough. I kneaded it with a mixer. While mixing, the dough was crumbly and sandy, but when I took it in my hands, I found that it holds together perfectly. Gather the dough into a ball.

After half an hour, take out the dough and divide it into 3 parts. This will make it easier to work with. Roll out each part into a 0.5 cm thick sheet. Using cookie cutters, cut out shapes.
