Milky (M & Ms) Cookies
Super milky, super simple, super yummy!
You can add nuts, raisins, sweet chips (toffee, chocolate, coffee etc), M & Ms, or whatever you want :)
Sometimes I leave them as is and dip them in melted chocolate half way (you can also sprinkle them with crushed candies, sprinkles, grated nuts, chopped candied fruits!).
Ingredients and Method
The key to these cookies, the milk paste. Available at almost all Asian stores (the brand I use is Hamer, the bottle is shown on the picture, but there are other brands. However, I chose that one as it states on the bottle, they are good even until 400 F of oven heat when used in baking).
1 C butter (dont substitute please)
3/4 c icing sugar
1/2 tbsp milk paste (for more milkier result, up to 1 tbsp works too!)
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 C AP flour
4 small bags/envelopes of mini M & Ms.
Cream butter and sugar, beat in paste and essence, just until combined. Add in flour followed with M & Ms.
Round dough by a tbsp and press flat with fork.
Bake at preheated 350 F for 9 minutes. Cool on rack.
Soooo good!
NOTE: Can't find the milk paste? Don't like milk flavor? Substitute with mocha paste, vanilla bean paste, coffee paste, chocolate paste, and you get variety of cookies ;-)
