Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional spices: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coating

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Soften the unsalted butter to room temperature for easy mixing. Measure all ingredients accurately. If using nuts, chop them finely for even distribution.
  2. Mix Butter and Sweetened Condensed Milk: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with sweetened condensed milk until light and fluffy, creating a creamy base for tender cookies.
  3. Add Vanilla and Dry Ingredients: Stir in vanilla extract and salt. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing carefully to avoid overworking the dough. Fold in nuts or spices if desired.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into small balls about 1 inch in diameter for uniform baking and classic snowball appearance.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place cookie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  6. Coat with Powdered Sugar: While cookies are still warm, roll them generously in powdered sugar. Let them cool completely, then roll again for an extra snowy coat.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for smooth mixing and tender texture.
  • Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent dense cookies.
  • If the dough is too soft to handle, refrigerate for 30 minutes before shaping.
  • Roll cookies evenly for consistent baking time and texture.
  • Double roll in powdered sugar for a classic snowy finish.
