Lemon Meringue Cookies

Preheat oven to 165°C and line a baking tray with parchment.

Cream the butter and Nestlé Sweetened Condensed Milk together until smooth and pale.

Add the egg yolk, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix well.

In a second bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.

Scoop 1 tbsp portions, roll into balls, and flatten gently onto the prepared tray.

Beat the egg whites, gradually add the sugar while whipping to stiff peaks, then add the vanilla.

Pipe the meringue onto each cookie using a star or round tip, forming a small swirl.

Bake for 12–14 minutes, until the cookie edges are set and the meringue is matte and lightly golden.
