Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (2 sticks)
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and confectioners sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until just combined.
- Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
