Delightfully soft and tender Condensed Milk Snow Cookies that melt in your mouth, coated generously with powdered sugar to give a snowy, sweet finish perfect for teatime or winter treats.
Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Coating
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to ensure the cookies do not stick.
- Cream Butter and Condensed Milk: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, creating a creamy base for the dough.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly, which adds a sweet aromatic depth to the cookies.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet ingredients until a soft, cohesive dough forms that is tender but manageable.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into small 1-inch diameter balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet leaving about 1 inch of space between each to allow for spreading.
- Flatten Balls: Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, gently flatten each ball into a disk shape to help them bake evenly.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers remain soft and set.
- Cool Slightly: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes so they firm up a bit before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: Once fully cooled, roll each cookie generously in powdered sugar to create a snow-dusted appearance and add an extra layer of sweetness.
- Serve: Enjoy these soft, sweet snow cookies alongside your favorite cup of tea or coffee for a perfect treat.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
- Do not overmix the flour to keep cookies tender.
- If dough feels sticky, chill for 10 minutes before shaping.
- Cookies will be soft out of the oven; allow cooling for firm texture.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
