Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar (divided)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop out 1-inch balls of dough (roughly 1 tablespoon each) and roll them between your palms to form smooth spheres. Place the dough balls about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly golden. The tops of the cookies should remain pale.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then gently roll them in the remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar while they are still warm.
Place the powdered sugar-coated cookies on a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, roll the cookies in powdered sugar again for an extra snowy coating.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
