Preparation

- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer for ease.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk to the creamed butter and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits if using.
Baking
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
- Remove cookies from the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
