Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (about 14 oz)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Finishing
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Cream the Butter: Begin by creaming the softened butter in a large mixing bowl until it’s smooth and fluffy, creating a light base for the dough.
- Incorporate Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the creamed butter, mixing continuously until fully combined into a smooth mixture.
- Prepare the Dough: Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder together to ensure even distribution, then add to the wet mixture. Mix gently until a soft, cohesive dough forms without overworking.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid sticking and facilitate even baking.
- Form the Cookies: Scoop small portions of dough and roll each into a ball using your hands. Place the dough balls spaced evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to turn slightly golden while the centers remain soft.
- Dust with Sugar: Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust generously with confectioner’s sugar while still slightly warm for the ideal snowball effect.
Notes
- Allow the butter to soften at room temperature for easier creaming.
- Do not overmix once flour is added to keep the cookies tender.
- Cookies will firm up as they cool, so avoid overbaking.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain freshness.
