Ingredients
- Cornstarch
- Powdered milk (or dry milk)
- Unsalted butter or margarine
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Sprinkles (red and green or other colors)
Instructions
Mix the cornstarch and powdered milk in a bowl until combined.
Add the room temperature butter (or margarine) and the sweetened condensed milk to the dry ingredients.
Dica: Use room temperature, not cold, butter/margarine.
Work the dough with your fingertips until it is moist, compact, and no longer sticks to your hands.
Dica: Add the sweetened condensed milk gradually, adjusting the amount needed to reach the right consistency.
Shape the dough into balls about the size of a truffle (similar to a brigadeiro ball).
Dica: The size of the balls will depend on the final desired shape.
Dip only the top of each ball into the chosen sprinkles for decoration.
Dica: Use Christmas colors like red and green to maintain the theme.
Arrange the shaped cookies on a baking sheet greased with butter/margarine, lined with a silicone mat, or parchment paper, leaving a small space between them.
Dica: No need to worry about spreading, as the recipe does not include leavening agents.
Gently press the top of each cookie with a fork to create a characteristic design.
Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Dica: Keep an eye on them; the cookie should remain whiter on top and slightly golden on the bottom to ensure softness.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan so they set before handling.
Dica: If storing or packaging, use a cooling rack to aid in complete drying and cooling.
