Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowball Cookies

Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowball Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 cup finely chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or almonds work best – optional)

• 1–1½ cups powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream the butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).

3. Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

4. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing just until incorporated. Don’t overmix.

5. Fold in chopped nuts, if using.

6. Scoop and shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the bottoms are just lightly golden. The tops should not brown.

8. Cool slightly, then roll warm cookies in powdered sugar. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Roll in powdered sugar again once fully cooled for that classic snowball look.
