Servings 10 cookies
Calories 174kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 gms) Butter cubed and chilled1
- 1 cup + 1 tbsp Flour
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1/2 cup Icing Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a cookie sheet and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled, cubed unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Rub the mixture together with your fingertips until it resembles a wet sand-like texture.
- Pour in the sweetened condensed milk. Using your hands, gently mix the dough until it comes together. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough (using a measuring spoon or cookie scoop) and roll it into smooth, even-sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight space between each ball.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The tops of the cookies should remain pale.
- Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes. While still warm, roll them in powdered sugar for the first coating. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies have cooled fully, roll them in powdered sugar again for a thick, snowy finish.

Notes
- Butter: Use chilled butter for the best texture. Softened butter can make the dough greasy and the cookies less tender.
- Mixing: Mix the dough just until it comes together. Overmixing can lead to tougher cookies.
- Coating: Rolling the cookies in powdered sugar twice ensures a beautiful, snowy finish and adds extra sweetness.
- Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom for festive flavor. You can also mix in chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips.
- Baking Tip: The tops of the cookies should remain pale; only the bottoms should turn lightly golden. Avoid overbaking.
