3. Combine Liquids: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the liquid mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.

5. Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.

7. Cool: Remove the cookies from the baking sheet while they are still warm. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variations

• Mexican Chocolate Cookies: Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and almonds to the dough for a spicy, nutty twist.

• Cinnamon Sugar Cookies: Omit cocoa powder and add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for a classic cinnamon sugar flavor.

• Cappuccino Cookies: Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of instant coffee for a coffee-infused treat.

Tips for Success

• Using Stale Bread: If you’re using stale bread for the breadcrumbs, ensure they are finely ground to incorporate well into the cookie dough.

• Cookie Texture: For a softer texture, slightly underbake the cookies. For crispier cookies, extend the baking time slightly.

• Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

These Bread Crumb Cookies are not only a clever way to reduce food waste but also a delicious treat that can be customized with different flavors to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy experimenting with variations and savor these budget-friendly cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
