Big cookies to dip in milk are easy to make and perfect for breakfast. They have a soft texture, a delicate flavor, and once dipped in milk, they keep their shape without breaking. The ingredients are simple: flour, sugar, milk, eggs, and baking powder. I didn’t use ammonia for these cookies, although it’s suitable for this type of sweet, but it would have given a crunchy texture, and I prefer them softer. Follow all the steps and prepare them with me for tomorrow’s breakfast!
