Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and slightly flatten them with your fingers or a fork.
- Place the cookies on the baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies should remain pale for a soft texture.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes, then generously dust them with powdered sugar while still warm.
- Once completely cooled, dust again for an extra snowy effect.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
