Condensed milk biscuits/ cookies

Condensed milk biscuits

These condensed milk biscuits are milky and addicting. It has somewhat of a chewy texture, not crispy or crunchy like everyday biscuits. My youngest sister refers it as cookies because of the texture. What is the difference between these two words.

We make it using sweetened condensed milk and are OK without additional sugar. If you want a sweeter version, you could add about 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.

Have a beautiful weekend!

Fridays, we love you.
