Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (120ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup (60g) confectioner’s sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter:Â In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Add Condensed Milk:Â Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and continue to beat for an additional 2 minutes until well combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients:Â Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until a smooth dough forms. If desired, fold in up to 1 cup of optional add-ins such as chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts at this stage.
- Shape Cookies:Â Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into small mounds and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake:Â Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. The cookies should remain pale and soft; avoid overbaking to maintain their tender texture.
- Cool and Dust:Â Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, generously dust the cookies with confectioner’s sugar to achieve their signature “snowball” appearance.
Notes
- Flavor Variations:Â Enhance the flavor by adding up to 2 teaspoons of your favorite extract, such as vanilla, almond, or lemon, when incorporating the sweetened condensed milk.
- Storage:Â Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies and thaw before serving.
- Gluten-Free Option:Â Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend to make these cookies gluten-free.
