Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, Thai tea powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, cream together unsalted butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk, egg, and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  3. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients to form a sticky dough.
  4. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls, then coat in a mixture of powdered sugar and cornstarch.
  7. Place coated balls on the baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes until tops are cracked but centers remain soft.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
