Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowballs Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully incorporated.

2. 2

   Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure even distribution and remove lumps.

3. 3

   Mix dough: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough to maintain tenderness.

4. 4

   Shape snowballs: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough into 1-inch diameter balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

5. 5

   Bake cookies: Bake the snowballs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden but the tops remain pale.

6. 6

   Cool and dust: Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, roll or dust the snowballs generously with confectioners’ sugar for a snowy effect.
