Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (65g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (150ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 1/2 cups (438g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, for rolling after baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set oven to 325°F (165°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter: Beat softened butter for 2–3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add sugar and salt: Mix in powdered sugar and salt until pale and light.
  4. Incorporate liquids: Add vanilla extract and sweetened condensed milk, beating until fully combined.
  5. Form the dough: Gradually add sifted flour, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
  6. Shape: Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart.
  7. Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden.
  8. Coat with sugar: Let cookies cool for 5 minutes, then roll in powdered sugar. Roll again once fully cooled for a perfect snowy finish.

Notes

  • Use full-fat sweetened condensed milk for best texture and flavor.
  • Double-coat with powdered sugar for a beautiful snowball look.
  • Do not overmix; mix just until the dough comes together.
