CHOCOLATE CHIP SNOWBALL COOKIES

Did you know you can make them into Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies? Best. Decision. Ever.

I’m kind of overly glad about that because I loooooove these cookies. I love them so much I’ve made her version, I’ve stuffed them with peanut butter cups, and I’ve made them chocolate and stuffed them with Rolos.

Now? I’ve made the simple addition of mini chocolate chips to make them Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies. And oh em gee. What a good decision.

These are, quite possibly, the easiest cookie you’ll ever make. Butter, powdered sugar, flour, and chocolate chips get mixed up into a cookie dough. You bake the cookie dough balls and they don’t spread, they just get lightly browned, and then you roll them in powdered sugar. Easy-peasy.

Here are the recipe ,,

CHOCOLATE CHIP SNOWBALL COOKIES
A new twist on an old favorite! Take your traditional Russian Tea Cake recipe and add chocolate chips!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Additional powdered sugar, for rolling


DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together. Stir in the chocolate chips. If dough is too soft, chill it until you can work it easily with your hands.
  3. Scoop 1 tablespoon balls of dough and place on prepared cookie sheet.
  4. Bake cookies for 7-10 minutes until bottoms are just slightly brown. Remove from oven and cool for just a minute, until you can handle them. Fill a small bowl with powdered sugar and roll each cookie in the sugar until coated. Place on a rack to cool.  (Once cookies are cooled, you may want to re-roll them in more powdered sugar.
