Sweetened Condensed Milk Biscuits ( Cookies )

These biscuits (cookies) are still my adult children favourites and I can never seem to make enough of them !! The secret of this biscuit is to chill the dough before baking. If making this recipe, please don't use skim milk or evaporated milk, only condensed milk.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 15 mins
• Serves: 10
• Yields: 60 cookies

Ingredients

• 250  g margarine
• 3⁄4 cup sugar
• 1  pinch salt
• 3  cups flour
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Directions

1. Beat the margarine and sugar until creamy.
2. Add vanilla essence - beat for another couple seconds.
3. Add the tin of sweetened condensed milk to the "cream" mixture.
4. Add salt then flour - cut into the mixture whilst mixing with a round edged knife.
5. Once mixture has the consistency of workable dough (more flour may be needed to get right consistency) roll out dough into 6 inch "sausages" - wrap "sausage dough" in parchment paper (wax paper) and place in fridge for half an hour before cutting the sausages into slices. Flatten biscuits lightly before baking in a preheated oven @ 180degrees until biscuits are a fine golden colour.
6. This recipe makes approximately 60+ biscuits -.
