Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Butter, unsalted
- 60 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 15 grams Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Mini chocolate chips
- 100 grams Powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
Mix in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough begins to form.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the dough balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat them generously. If desired, re-roll them a second time for a thicker sugar coating.
Serve the Mint Snow Balls immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
