Snowball Cookies with Sweetened Condensed Milk

Soft, sweet, and dusted with powdered sugar, these Snowball Cookies with sweetened condensed milk offer a creamy twist on the classic favorite. Perfect for any occasion, these melt-in-your-mouth treats are sure to be a hit.

Ingredients:

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

Directions:

1. Cream the Butter:
Begin by creaming the softened butter in a large mixing bowl until it becomes light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for ease, or a wooden spoon if you prefer. This step is essential to achieving the soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture of the cookies.

2. Incorporate Sweetened Condensed Milk:
Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the creamed butter. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully combined, creating a smooth, rich dough base that is the foundation of these delicious cookies.

3. Prepare the Dough:
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until you achieve a soft, doughy consistency. Be careful not to overmix, as this can toughen the cookies.

4. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step ensures the cookies do not stick and bake evenly.

5. Form the Cookies:
Using a spoon or your hands, scoop the dough and roll it into small balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.

6. Bake:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Watch carefully to avoid overbaking, as these cookies should remain soft.

7. Dust and Serve:
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. While still warm, roll each cookie in confectioner’s sugar, coating them generously for a sweet finish.
