Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowball Cookies

Winter holidays and sweet treats go hand in hand, and there’s nothing quite like a batch of homemade cookies to set the festive mood. If you’re looking for a delightful twist on a classic recipe, these Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowball Cookies are a must-try. They are not only delicious but also easy to make, requiring just a handful of ingredients.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar (for dusting)

Directions:

  1. Start Creaming the Butter: Begin by placing 1 cup of softened butter in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer or a strong whisk, cream the butter until it is smooth and creamy. This step is crucial as it forms the base of your cookie dough.
  2. Incorporate Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually add the can of sweetened condensed milk to the creamed butter. Continue mixing until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture looks homogeneously creamy. The sweetened condensed milk not only adds sweetness but also a delightful creamy texture.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder into your creamy mixture. Stir the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. The dough should be pliable but not sticky; if it feels too sticky, you might want to add a little more flour.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This ensures your cookies can be removed easily after baking without breaking.
  5. Shape Your Cookies: Scoop small amounts of dough, roll them into balls approximately 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to space them out as they will spread a bit while baking.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden. The exact baking time might vary depending on your oven, so it’s good to keep an eye on them after the 10-minute mark.
  7. Final Touch: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet. While they’re still warm, gently roll them in confectioner’s sugar. The sugar not only adds an extra layer of sweetness but also gives them their characteristic “snowball” look.
