Gramma's Sweet Milk Cookies are old-fashioned goodness! Simple pantry ingredients come together quickly to make these simple cookies that are sweet and rich in flavor!
Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 C granulated sugar
- 3/4 C sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 C butter can substitute shortening
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 C all purpose flour
For rolling cookies prior to baking:
- 1/4 C granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare baking sheet by lining with parchment or foil. Or, alternatively, use baking mats. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream the egg, sugar, condensed milk and butter (or, shortening) until fluffy.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix at medium speed just until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Roll cookie dough into 2" balls. Roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2" apart on baking tray. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass. (Alternatively: for cut-out cookies, roll dough out to 1/4" thick and cut with cookie cutters).
- Bake 10 minutes - just until the edges start to turn a very light brown. Remove from the oven and cool prior to eating.
- Store cooled cookies in a covered container at room temperature and eat within 2-3 days.
