Easy Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowball Cookies – Buttery Powdered Sugar Cookies
Easy sweetened condensed milk snowball cookies are delicate buttery cookies made with condensed milk and rolled in powdered sugar for a soft sweet treat.
Ingredients
-
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
-
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, divided
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, beat the 1 cup softened unsalted butter until creamy.
-
Add 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
-
Fold in 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts until evenly distributed.
-
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
-
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden and the tops are set.
-
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
-
Roll the slightly warm cookies in 3/4 cup powdered sugar.
-
Once the cookies are completely cool, roll them again in the remaining 3/4 cup powdered sugar.
-
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
-
For the softest texture, use softened butter rather than melted butter.
-
Roll the cookies in powdered sugar twice for the best snowy finish.
-
Finely chopped nuts work better than large pieces for a more delicate texture.
-
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
-
For a nut-free version, leave out the nuts and add a little extra flour if needed to keep the dough easy to roll.
