Glazed Condensed Milk Cookies

Very bland cookie. I even added vanilla to the icing. Didn't help. One would think that with all that butter and condensed milk they would have had at least some taste to them. Nope. Won't be making these again or wasting butter, etc. like that.

After reading one of the reviews, I doubled the vanilla and added a little more salt, but the cookies were still bland. So I made the glaze more flavorful by adding more vanilla and also almond. Unfortunately, it really didn't help. So as not to throw away the cookies, I melted leftover fudge and dipped the cookies in that which helped somewhat.

We loved these! Even my resident 'cookie monster' didn't mind the no sugar. I added more vanilla to the mix (1.5 tspns) and sprinkled them with Christmas sparkles of gold, white, and green (didn't have any red sprinkles). I didn't change anything else but the name to: Christmas Tea Biscuits. Thank you for such a good and easy recipe!

The recipe is well described and my husband love it. thank you so much.

I found the results of this cookie recipe odd. What you get is basically a semi-sweet biscuit with a semi-sweet bland frosting. I liked the texture of both, but there's very little flavor in either. If I try it again, I'd definitely double the vanilla extract and add some to frosting. I think I'd also add some sugar to both to give it a sweeter, more cookie-like profile rather than a biscuit.
