Ingredients

125 g self-raising flour ( 1 cup)
115 g salted butter ( ½ cup)
75 g sweetened condensed milk ( ⅓ cup)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
In a mixing bowl, add the condensed milk and soften butter and use a hand mixer to beat them well until you get a light consistency and a pale yellow colour.
Sift in the flour and use a spatula to mix everything into a soft dough.
Cover the bowl with clingfilm and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for the dough to firm up.
Use your hands to shape balls out of the dough, mine were the size of a walnut.
Arrange the cookies onto 2 trays line with non-stick paper.
Use a fork to slightly flatten the cookies out.
Bake for 15 minutes or until they are golden.
Leave them to cool down on the trays for 5 minutes, then arrange them onto a cooling rack to cool down completely.

Notes

I highly recommend chilling the dough before baking, as otherwise it will be too soft and it will stick to the hands badly. A chilled dough is very easy to work with and mess free.
Dip the fork into flour every time you flatten a cookie and it will not stick to the dough at all, without the flour the fork tends to stick slightly after a few cookies.
Do not transfer the cookies straight onto a cooling rack when they come out of the oven, as they are still soft and hot, and they will end up collapsing. Once they firm up slightly onto the baking tray, they are safe to go onto the cooling rack.
