- 1 cup powdered milk
- 2+1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions

Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC), using top and bottom heat, without the fan.

Place butter in a stand mixer bowl, and mix for 4-5 minutes until fluffy using a paddle attachment on medium speed. Add in powdered milk and continue mixing for 1-2 minutes.

Add flour in 2 additions, mixing well after each addition, using the lowest speed. You'll get a crumbly dough. Grab 1 tbsp of dough, press it in your hands, and roll it into a ball. The heat from your hands will bring the dough together.
