Ingredients

Helpful tips
- Measuring Flour: When measuring self-rising flour, be sure to spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife for accuracy.
- Consistency Check: If your dough is too dry, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time. If it’s too wet, add a bit more flour.
- Uniform Cookies: To ensure your cookies bake evenly, make sure to roll the dough balls to a uniform size.
- Non-Stick Surface: If the dough is sticking to your hands, lightly dust them with flour or chill the dough for a few minutes.
- Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool completely before adding Nutella for sandwich cookies to prevent the Nutella from melting too much.
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.
- Creative Variations: Feel free to add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet and salty flavor, or mix in some chocolate chips or nuts for added texture.
