Ingredients

Ready to make these delicious snow cookies? Here’s what you’ll need:

All-Purpose Flour

The base for our cookies, providing structure while keeping them light and soft.

Unsalted Butter

Gives the cookies that rich, buttery flavor we all love. Softened butter is key to getting the right texture.

Sweetened Condensed Milk

The star ingredient! It sweetens the dough and helps create a soft, melt-in-your-mouth cookie.

Powdered Sugar

For dusting! It gives the cookies that snowball effect and adds a little extra sweetness to each bite.

Vanilla Extract (Optional)

A hint of vanilla enhances the flavor, but if you prefer a more neutral taste, you can skip it.

Instructions

Let’s bake these delicious cookies together!

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures an even bake for those soft, golden edges.

Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it in now. Gradually add in the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Don’t worry if the dough feels a bit sticky—it’s supposed to be that way!

Shape the Cookies

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into little balls with your hands. Don’t worry about perfection—these cookies have a rustic charm!

Bake the Cookies

Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still be soft—that’s exactly how we want them!

Coat in Powdered Sugar

Once the cookies are out of the oven, let them cool for about 5 minutes. While they’re still warm, gently roll them in powdered sugar until they’re coated in a snowy layer. The powdered sugar will stick to the warm cookies, creating that perfect “snowball” look.

Let Cool and Enjoy

Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool completely. Once they’re cooled, they’re ready to devour!
