Condensed milk biscuits tip

The dough should be nice and stiff which will help make some crunch to the party. You can roll the dough out and cut it into any shape you want to depending on the occasion. For decoration, you can add some glaze over the top, put jelly sweets in the middle or even drizzle with some chocolate. This batch makes quite a few cookies and you can double-up if you want to for more gifts or a bake sale.
