Welcome the winter season with our Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowballs, a delightful cookie that melts in your mouth, much like the first snowflakes of the season. These cookies are not only a joy to bake but also a pleasure to savor, with their soft, buttery texture and the sweet touch of confectioner’s sugar, resembling a dusting of snow.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar

Optional Add-Ins:

• 2 teaspoons of your favorite extract for flavoring (like vanilla or almond)
• 1 cup of add-ins like chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or nuts

Instructions:

1. Cream the Butter:
   • Beat the softened butter in a mixing bowl until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
2. Add Milk:
   • Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, beating for an additional 2 minutes. Add extract now if using.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then mix in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Stir in any optional add-ins.
4. Form Cookies:
   • Using a cookie scoop, place dough mounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced two inches apart.
5. Bake:
   • Bake at 320°F (160°C) for 12 minutes. Cookies should be just set and not too brown.
6. Cool and Dust:
   • Let cookies cool slightly on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust liberally with confectioner’s sugar.
