Baking & Spices:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup confectioner’s sugar (for dusting)
Dairy:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the bowl. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Roll small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon) into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
- Dust with Sugar:
- Let the cookies cool slightly, then roll them in confectioner’s sugar while still warm.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely, then roll them again in powdered sugar for a second coating.
- Serve:
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- Variations: Add chopped nuts, coconut, or chocolate chips to the dough for a twist.
- Storage: Store at room temperature in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze cookies without the powdered sugar coating. Dust with sugar after thawing.
- Holiday Tip: These cookies make excellent gifts when packaged in festive boxes or tins.
