Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup (120g) confectioner’s sugar, for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Dough: Cream the softened butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully blended.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour and baking powder, then fold into the butter mixture until a soft, pliable dough forms.
  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Shape Cookies: Scoop small portions of dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden on the bottom edges.
  • Add Snowy Finish: Let cookies cool slightly, then gently dust with confectioner’s sugar for a classic snowball appearance.
