Description
Delightfully soft and melt-in-your-mouth Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowball Cookies made with rich butter, sweetened condensed milk, and a hint of baking powder, dusted generously with confectioner’s sugar for a perfect sweet finish.
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Topping
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Cream Butter: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until it becomes smooth and creamy, creating the base for the dough.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk while continuously mixing to ensure a well-combined, smooth mixture.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then gently fold this into the butter mixture until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop small amounts of dough and roll them into balls using your hands, then arrange them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies turn slightly golden at the edges.
- Cool and Dust: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before generously dusting them with confectioner’s sugar to complete the snowball effect.
Notes
- Make sure butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
- Do not overbake; cookies should be just slightly golden to maintain softness.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to avoid breakage.
- Dust with confectioner’s sugar while still warm for the best adherence.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
