These creamy snowball cookies are a festive holiday treat with a tender crumb, rich buttery flavor, and a snowy powdered sugar coating. Sweetened condensed milk makes them extra soft and melt-in-your-mouth, perfect for Christmas gatherings or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 7 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dough)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, beat unsalted butter until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until fully combined.
  4. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat until smooth and creamy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Stir in nuts if using.
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating on low speed until just combined.
  7. If dough is too soft, chill in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart.
  9. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until set but not browned.
  10. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  11. While still warm, roll each cookie in powdered sugar. Roll a second time after fully cooled for extra snowy coating.
  12. Serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

For nut-free, substitute nuts with mini chocolate chips or dried fruit. Chill dough if too soft for easier shaping. Double coat in powdered sugar for best snowy look. Cookies should remain pale, not golden. Store in airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
