Step 1
1. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together. Add the flour from 1 box and beat. Beat in the egg, then add the flour from the second box and mix until smooth. Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture becomes slightly sticky and a bit moist. If needed, add a little extra flour. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1 cm thickness. Cut out cookies using a round cutter or cookie stamp. Place them 5-7 cm apart on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
