CÓMO HACER GALLETAS DE LECHE CONDENSADA
How to Make Delicious Condensed Milk Cookies
Introduction to the Recipe
- The video introduces a simple and delicious recipe for cookies made with condensed milk, lemon zest, and dulce de leche. The host invites viewers to join in cooking and lists the necessary ingredients.
Preparing the Cookie Dough
- Ingredients include butter, egg yolk, condensed milk, and lemon zest. Mix well using a mixer or by hand until no lumps of butter remain; it's best if the butter is slightly softened.
- Add powdered sugar (or icing sugar) and mix until smooth without any sugar lumps. Incorporate flour and cornstarch along with baking powder already mixed into the flour. Continue mixing until a homogeneous dough forms.
- Once the dough becomes drier, switch to kneading by hand until it no longer sticks to your fingers; wearing gloves can help prevent melting the butter too much during this process.
Rolling Out and Cutting Cookies
- Dust a surface with flour before rolling out the dough gently with a rolling pin to about 5mm thickness; avoid pressing too hard to maintain shape integrity. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes for easier cutting.
- Use cookie cutters of various sizes (approximately 3cm and 4cm in diameter) for shaping cookies; smaller ones can be filled with dulce de leche while larger ones remain plain or can also be filled later on. Save excess dough for re-kneading later on.
Baking Instructions
- Press down lightly on each cookie's top with a fork for decoration, resembling alfajores; bake at 180°C (356°F) for around 10 minutes until done. Allow cooling before filling them with dulce de leche which should have good texture and consistency for best results.
Storage Tips
- The prepared dough can last up to 15 days in refrigeration or up to four months when frozen if stored properly in an airtight bag labeled with preparation date. The number of cookies produced will depend on cutter size used during shaping.
