Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be soft but not too sticky.
-
Shape the Cookies:
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Gently flatten each ball with your fingers or the back of a spoon to create a disk shape.
-
Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be soft but set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Coat the Cookies:
- Once the cookies have cooled, roll them in powdered sugar until they are generously coated, giving them the “snow” effect.
-
Serve:
- Enjoy your delicate, sweet snow cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
Notes
- Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For an extra flavor twist, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest or almond extract to the dough.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of powdered sugar for rolling.
