Equipment
- Oven
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
- Mixing bowl
- hand mixer or whisk
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and fluffy.
- Slowly mix in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix gently until a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the bottoms are lightly golden and the tops remain pale.
- Let cookies cool slightly, then dust generously with confectioner’s sugar before serving.
Notes
Keep cookies pale on top for the best melt-in-your-mouth texture. Use room-temperature butter and avoid overmixing. Dust with confectioner’s sugar while warm so it adheres well. Dough can be chilled 20–30 minutes if too soft.
