Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup gumdrops
- 1 cup sanding sugar
Instructions
- Using a hand-held mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the condensed milk and beat into the butter until well combined.
- Add the flour and baking powder. Mix into the butter mixture until well incorporated.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside. Lastly, pour the sanding sugar into a shallow bowl for rolling the cookie dough into.
- Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and using a small cookie scoop, portion out 1 teaspoon of the cookie dough. Roll it into a smooth ball and then roll it into the sanding sugar.
- Place the cookie balls on the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each one. Push a gumdrop into the top of each ball - at least half way down.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
