For the Cookie Dough
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
For Finishing
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar (for dusting)
- Cream the Butter: Begin by creaming the softened butter in a large mixing bowl until it’s smooth and fluffy, which helps achieve a light texture in the cookies.
- Incorporate Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the creamed butter, mixing continuously until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Prepare the Dough: Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then gradually add them to the wet mixture. Stir until you form a soft, cohesive dough that is easy to handle.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking during baking.
- Form the Cookies: Scoop small amounts of dough and roll them into balls about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the dough balls evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are slightly golden around the edges but still soft to the touch.
- Dust with Sugar: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. While still warm but not hot, generously dust the cookies with confectioner’s sugar to give them their characteristic snowy appearance.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
- Do not overbake; the cookies should be soft inside and just golden on the edges.
- For best results, dust the cookies with confectioner’s sugar when they are slightly warm so it sticks well.
- You can store these cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Optionally, add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired.
