These tender, buttery snowball cookies get their soft texture and gentle sweetness from sweetened condensed milk and a dusting of powdered sugar. Quick to make and even quicker to disappear!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder until evenly combined.
In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
Add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract and continue mixing until the mixture is well combined and glossy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once fully cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Freeze for longer storage, using parchment paper between layers to avoid sticking.
