Biskut Samperit Susu - Pressed Milk Cookies

Since I was small, I always love this biskut samperit. My aunt used to bake this everytime Raya. When I was at Gertrude's house, I saw in one of her baking magazine this delicious samperit susu. So, I've decided to give this recipe a try. I would say that this recipe was a success except that I was short in sugar. It was not as sweet as I like it. However, my co-workers said that it was sweet when I let them sampled few pieces.
With the same batter, I came out with 3 different shapes. One shape is just one layer of the rectangle cookies. The original recipe asked for double layer of the rectangle so I made that too. And the last shape, I use floret mould and I top it off with m&m.
Here are the ingredients:

1 can on sweetened condensed milk (12 oz I think). Original recipe called for Nespray powdered milk

2 stick of unsalted butter

1 cup confectioners sugar (you could use 1 1/2 cups if you like it sweeter)
3 cups flour

1 cup cornstarch

1 tablespoon essence vanilla
1 egg yolk

This recipe yield lots of cookies. I did not count. But I was feeling weak the next day because too long standing in the kitchen.

Method:


In a big bowl, cream butter and sugar.


Then add 1 egg yolk. Cream it more.

Add milk and cream it smooth.

Beat with vanilla well.
Lastly, use spatula to fold flour. Add flour one cup at a time.


I use the pressed cookie cutter as shown in the picture above.


Pressed one straight line on baking sheet. Use knead flour cutter to cut about 2 inches in length.
Bake in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes on 350F degree. Do watch the cookies so that it will not get too brown.

One of the batch, I fill in with m&m and then cover it with another layer of the cookie dough. Then I cut it 2 inches long as shown in the picture below.

Let the cookies cool completely before storing it in air tight container. This cookies can last for months.

I must say my darling love this cookies so much that he ate 20 pieces already. So I have to hide the rest of the cookies or else it won't make it till Raya day.

  1. Hi Zuraida

    I have never had semperit with condensed milk. I will definately have to try this soon. They look lovely.

    Like you, I have to hide cookies too...between the husband, kids and the dog (yes, my dog loves cookies and the children are naughty cos they feed him) there is often nothing left after a day or two!

  2. vg, I could not find the powdered Nespray milk at the store. Here in US, most powdered milk has iron in it and definitely cannot use for cookies as it is bitter. I find this sweetened condesed milk has the same milky taste. But I have to change the measurement for the rest of the ingredients. This milk make the batter softer. I am glad the cookies came out exactly as I like it.
