Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream butter, sugar, and eggs together until well combined.
- Add milk alternately with flour into the creamed mixture, mixing until a stiff dough forms.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the dough. If you need a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with almond milk or oat milk. Make sure to chill the dough overnight for easier handling and better texture. You can also use this dough as a base for the Neiman'S Cookie Recipe by adding chocolate chips.
Serving Suggestions
These filled cookies are delightful on their own but can be enhanced by pairing them with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option, but it may change the texture slightly. If you're looking for gluten-free alternatives, consider using a gluten-free baking blend, though adjustments to the liquid may be necessary.
What kind of filling can I use for these cookies?
You can use a variety of fillings such as fruit preserves, chocolate ganache, or even a nut butter. For a fun twist, try using a mixture of cream cheese and powdered sugar for a sweet, creamy filling.
How can I tell when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are typically done when the edges start to turn golden brown. They may look slightly underbaked in the center but will firm up as they cool. It's important not to overbake them to maintain a soft texture.
