Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when the dough is prepared. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Condensed Milk: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which helps to create a tender texture in the cookies.
  3. Sift and Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure even distribution and a light crumb. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Shape the Snowballs: Take small portions of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls, placing them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are just set and they maintain a pale color, indicating a soft interior.
  6. Cool and Dust: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. While still warm, dust generously with confectioners’ sugar to create the signature snowball finish.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Make sure not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and tender.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Optional: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for added flavor.
