Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
For Rolling:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and milk: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Add dry ingredients: Add flour and salt, stirring until a dough forms. Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
