Annabel Langbein has a recipe called butter cookies and it is much the same as 245sams and one l used to make except l added 1/2 tin condensed milk
Here is the one l use
500g butter, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 tin condensed milk, 1 tsp vanilla essence
4 1/2 cups flour 4 tsp baking powder and flavour from there or just plain are so nice

There are so many variations of this recipe around and l have been making some with cranberries, white chocolate, pistachio nuts and orange zest and they are very moreish and the other lot l just add sultanas
Hope that helps

Just wondering !Could you use the caramel condensed milk instead of the ordinary one.Have 2 tins of the caramel in the cupboard but will not have the plain stuff till the weekend shopping.These sound so yummy andNo Eggs!Now that's handy.

l can't see why you can't it will be caramel flavoured but should be nice
please let us know if you use it and how they turn out
