I bake these Sweetened Condensed Milk Snowball Cookies when you and I want a classic Christmas snowball cookie that feels extra rich, soft, and melt‑in‑your‑mouth thanks to sweetened condensed milk in the dough. They stay tender instead of dry, are naturally egg‑free, and finish with a double roll in powdered sugar so they look like little snowdrifts piled onto your holiday cookie trays.
Why You’ll Love These Cookies
These cookies take everything people already love about traditional snowball or Mexican wedding cookies—the buttery crumb, the nutty flavor, the snowy sugar coating—and boost it with the creamy sweetness of condensed milk. The dough comes together in one bowl with simple pantry ingredients, holds its round shape in the oven, and bakes into cookies that ship, freeze, and stack beautifully for cookie exchanges and gift boxes. Because they’re not overly sweet and have a fine, tender crumb, they work just as well with coffee or tea on a quiet afternoon as they do on a big holiday dessert spread.
