- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.

- Gradually stir in the flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden (the tops should remain pale).
- Cool the cookies slightly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, roll the cookies generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Serve and enjoy your sweet, snowy treats!
Notes
- For an extra festive touch, add finely chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) to the dough.
- You can roll the cookies in powdered sugar a second time for an extra snowy effect.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
