Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Flavoring and Sweet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional powdered sugar for rolling
Nuts:
- 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a crisp 375°F (190°C), preparing for a delightful baking session.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whip butter and sweetened condensed milk into a creamy, luxurious blend.
- Gently incorporate flour, powdered sugar, and fragrant vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture transforms into a cohesive dough.
- Fold in finely chopped nuts, distributing them evenly throughout the velvety mixture.
- Tenderly craft compact, uniform spheres approximately 1-inch in diameter, positioning each delicately on a prepared baking sheet.
- Slide the cookie-laden tray into the preheated oven, allowing them to bake for 10-12 minutes until they achieve a set texture without developing excessive browning.
- Once removed from the oven, permit the cookies a brief moment to cool slightly, then lovingly enrobe each one in a soft blanket of powdered sugar while they retain a gentle warmth.
- Transfer the sugar-dusted morsels to a wire cooling rack, letting them reach complete room temperature before indulging in their delicate, melt-in-your-mouth essence.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for smoother, more evenly mixed dough that creates a softer cookie texture.
- Finely chop nuts to ensure even distribution and prevent large chunks that might disrupt the delicate cookie structure.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free flour blend to maintain similar consistency.
- Roll cookies in powdered sugar while warm to help sugar adhere better and create a more delicate, melt-in-your-mouth coating.
