- Next line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cooking mold scoop out the dough and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Notes
The dough is still sticky what do I do?
If it's still sticky add more cornstarch a tablespoon at a time and keep mixing until it starts forming a dough.
Can I add rice flour as well?
Yes please try! I would remove ¼ cup of cornstarch and replace it with ¼ cup of rice flour. Adjust the condensed milk if needed.
