Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies
Soft, buttery Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies loaded with mini chocolate chips. A melt-in-your-mouth holiday treat everyone will love!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar for the dough
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar to coat the cookies
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixer fitter with a paddle, cream together the butter and ½ cup of powdered sugar, and salt. Cream until the butter is light and fluffy, this should take a few minutes. Mix in the vanilla.
- Mix in the flour and mini chocolate chips. Mix until fully combined. The mixture will start off crumbly, keep mixing and it will come together.
- Scoop the cookie dough out with a .5-ounce portion scoop, or a heaping tablespoon, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-13 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes, or just enough to handle, roll each cookie in the remaining powdered sugar and place on a cooling rack.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, roll them a second time in the powdered sugar. Enjoy!
Notes
- 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.
