Method
- Place the softened butter in a large mixing bowl and beat it until it is light and creamy, which should take about three minutes.1 cup butter
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the creamed butter and beat the mixture for an additional two minutes.1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and beat again for another minute to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
- Add the all-purpose flour and the baking powder to the wet ingredients. Beat until the mixture is just combined and a soft dough forms.2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 tsp baking powder
- Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough into mounds and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure you leave at least two inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 320 degrees F for 12 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the pan for about five minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack. While they are still slightly warm, use a sifter to liberally dust them with confectioner’s sugar. Let them cool completely before moving them to storage.1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
Notes
Ensure your butter is naturally softened to room temperature, as using a microwave can cause melted spots that ruin the dough's consistency. Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze them for up to three months.
