Here’s a recipe for Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowball Cookies! These cookies are soft, sweet, and perfect for the holidays.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
- Optional: 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually stir in the flour and salt. If you’re using nuts, fold them in at this point.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about an inch between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set but not browned. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Roll in powdered sugar: While the cookies are still warm, roll them in powdered sugar. Let them cool completely on a wire rack, then roll them in powdered sugar again for a second coating.
Tips:
- For an extra festive touch, you can roll the cookies in colored sugar or add a hint of food coloring to the dough.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
Enjoy these sweet, buttery snowball cookies!
