Instructions

 

• Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
• Gradually add dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

• Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
