JESSICA'S SNOWBALL COOKIES (SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK COOKIES)

 
1/2 cup butter, cubed and chilled

1 cup + 1 tablespoon all purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup icing sugar (confectioners sugar)

 

Preheat oven to 350*. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled, cubed butter, all purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon 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 over mixing to ensure a tender, melt-in-your mouth texture. Carefully roll into 10-12 equal sized balls, handling as little as possible. Place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Bake in preheated 350* oven for 12-15 minutes until bottoms are just lightly brown. The tops of the cookies should remain pale. Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes.

While still warm, roll the cookies in the confectioners sugar and place on a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cookies have cooled, roll them in confectioners sugar again for a thick snowy finish. Yields 10-12 cookies. Store in air tight container.
