Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Gradually mix in the sweetened condensed milk, beating for 2 minutes until fully combined.
- If using a flavor extract (up to 2 teaspoons), add it now.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for another 1–2 minutes.
- Add the flour and baking powder to the butter mixture and beat until just incorporated.
- If adding mix-ins (up to 1 cup), fold them in now.
- Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into even mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
- Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C) and bake for 12 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack and generously dust with confectioners’ sugar.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Do not overbake—cookies should stay pale on top for a soft texture.
- Fold in only up to 1 cup of mix-ins to keep the dough stable.
- Dust cookies again after cooling for extra snowy coverage.
