- ¾ Can (about 11-12 ounces) Sweetened Condensed Milk
Instructions:

Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Condensed Magic: Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the bowl and mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
-
Scooping Up Magic: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
-
Baking Time: Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the condensed milk layer is bubbly and slightly caramelized.

A Touch of Magic: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The condensed milk layer will firm up as the cookies cool, creating that magical texture.
