Key Ingredients
- Butter - Unsalted butter works really wells for this recipe. If you are using salted butter, omit the salt from the recipe.
- Powdered Sugar - Used in the cookie dough and used to roll the cookies in.
- Vanilla Extract - Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor!
- Chocolate Chips - Mini chocolate chips are perfect for this cookie recipe. If you do not have mini chocolate chips you can just chop regular chocolate chips.
How To Make Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies
These cookies are so simple to make and have that magical melt-in-your-mouth texture everyone loves. Here's a run-through on how to make them:
STEP 1: Start by creaming together the butter, ½ cup of powdered sugar, and salt until the mixture is light and fluffy. Now mix in the vanilla.
STEP 2: Next, add in the flour and mini chocolate chips. Mix until fully combined. The dough will look crumbly at first but just keep mixing and it will come together.
STEP 3: Scoop the dough with a .5-inch portion scoop (or a heaping tablespoon) and place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet. These don't spread while baking, so you can place them close together. Bake for 12-13 minutes.
STEP 4: Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes, then roll each one in the remaining powdered sugar. Place them on a wire rack to finish cooling.
STEP 5: Once they're completely cooled, give them a second roll in powdered sugar for that classic snowball look. Enjoy!
👉 Expert Tips
- You can place the cookies really close together on the baking sheet since they do not spread during baking.
- Rolling the cookies in powdered sugar while still warm creates a thin, icing like coating around the cookie. A second roll after they've completely cooled gives them their classic snowball look.
This is one of those recipes that always makes an appearance during the holiday season. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
