There’s something deeply satisfying about a cookie that asks for almost nothing and gives you everything in return. These eggless condensed milk cookies — also known fondly as Milkmaid cookies — need just four ingredients, no eggs, and barely an hour of your time. And yet, somehow, they taste like they took all afternoon.
If you have ever stood in your kitchen craving something sweet but felt too tired to bake, this recipe was made for you. This condensed milk cake is the kind of recipe that makes you feel like a genius in the kitchen — because it is impossibly simple and impossibly delicious at the same time.
