👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the dough

1. Beat butter until light and creamy.
2. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour + salt.
4. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
5. Fold in chopped nuts (optional).

Dough will be soft—this is normal.

2. Chill

Refrigerate the dough for 30–45 minutes so it’s easier to roll.
