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
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking powder, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the snowballs: Using your hands, roll the dough into small 1-inch balls and place them evenly spaced on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the dough balls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Cool and coat: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. While still warm, roll each cookie generously in confectioners’ sugar, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the butter is softened to room temperature before starting.
- You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor if desired.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- These cookies can also be lightly chilled before baking to help maintain their shape.
