Soft, tender cookies infused with warm vanilla bean and sweetened condensed milk, perfect for cozy moments and simple indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (300 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • Seeds from 1 vanilla bean pod or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • Optional: ¼ cup (30 g) finely chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: almond flour (to substitute half the all-purpose flour for gluten-free)
  • Optional: dairy-free butter and coconut milk condensed milk (for vegan version)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer or sturdy spoon until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the vanilla bean seeds or vanilla bean paste to the butter mixture, then slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly flatten if desired.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and centers still look soft.
  9. Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

If dough is too sticky, chill for 15 minutes before shaping. Use real vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste for best flavor and speckled appearance. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. Watch baking time closely to prevent overbaking. For thicker cookies, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking.
