Melt-in-Mouth Cookie Mastery Secrets for Perfect Condensed Milk Delights

Butter Temperature: Softened butter is crucial - it should be at room temperature for proper creaming.

Don't Overbake: Remove cookies when barely set for that melt-in-mouth texture - they continue cooking on the sheet.

Cornstarch Secret: Cornstarch creates the signature tender, crumbly texture that makes these cookies special.

Chill When Needed: If dough is too sticky, refrigerate briefly to make handling easier.

Gentle Handling: These delicate cookies require gentle touch when transferring to avoid breaking.

Storage Tip: Keep cookies in airtight container with sugar dusting to maintain softness and sweetness.

Add egg yolk and mix until fully incorporated into the dough.

Gradually fold in dry ingredients until just combined, do not overmix.

Mix in almond extract and lemon zest if using for extra flavor.

Chill dough in refrigerator for 15 minutes if too soft to handle.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into smooth balls.

Place cookie balls on prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.

Gently flatten each cookie slightly with palm or bottom of glass.

Press whole almond into center of each cookie or sprinkle with sliced almonds.

Brush tops lightly with milk for golden finish if desired.
