Ingredients
Scale
Nuts:
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (227 grams) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating:
- Powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C), ensuring an even temperature for consistent baking.
- Using an electric mixer, blend softened butter and sweetened condensed milk until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Incorporate vanilla extract, stirring thoroughly to distribute the aromatic flavor throughout the mixture.
- Gradually introduce flour into the creamy base, mixing carefully to create a uniform dough without overmixing.
- Gently fold chopped nuts into the cookie mixture, distributing them evenly for consistent crunch in every bite.
- Craft compact, uniform spheres approximately 1-inch in diameter, positioning them strategically on an ungreased baking surface.
- Slide the cookie tray into the preheated oven, baking for 12-15 minutes until the edges appear set but maintain a pale complexion.
- Remove from oven and briefly allow cookies to rest, then delicately roll each warm cookie in powdered sugar for a luxurious, snowy coating.
- Transfer cookies to a cooling rack, permitting them to reach room temperature and allowing the sugar coating to set completely before serving.
Notes
- Butter temperature matters significantly for achieving the perfect cookie texture, so ensure it’s softened but not melted.
- Chopping nuts finely helps distribute them evenly throughout the dough, creating a consistent crunch in every bite.
- Rolling cookies in powdered sugar while warm allows for better sugar adhesion and creates a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth coating.
- Consider using different nut varieties like pecans or almonds to customize flavor profiles and suit personal preferences.
