Steps

1

In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, sugar, salt, softened butter, and egg yolk. Beat until everything is well mixed.
2

Sift the cornstarch to remove any lumps, then add it to the mixture. Mix until you have a smooth, manageable dough.
3

Divide the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4

Bake the cookies at 320°F (160°C) for about 20-30 minutes. The bottoms should be lightly golden; that's how you'll know they're ready.
5

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool before moving them, as they break easily while hot.
