Ingredients
-
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
-
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
-
7 tablespoons white sugar
-
1 large egg, beaten
-
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Directions
-
Place the entire, unopened can of condensed milk in a large saucepan. Fill the saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until milk inside has caramelized, about 2 hours.
-
Remove from the heat and set aside to cool while you make the cookies.
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
Beat butter and sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in egg, then mix in flour until well combined.
-
Drop batter by small teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Dip your finger into flour, and pat each cookie into a very thin, little circle (about the size of a quarter).
-
Bake in the preheated oven until just starting to brown around the edges and no longer doughy in the centers, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.
-
Sandwich cooled cookies together with the caramelized condensed milk.
Cook's Note:
It makes a lot of cookies, and I ended up not even using all of the caramelized condensed milk.
