Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.

Step 2

To a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Cut in the cubed butter with a pastry cutter or a fork. This will take a few minutes but the dough should be a coarse crumb.

Step 4

Add in the vanilla and mini chocolate chips and continue mixing until a smooth dough forms. It might be easier to use your hands - all dry ingredients should be fully incorporated.

Step 5

Use a small cookie scoop (approximately 1.5 teaspoons) to form balls, rolling between your hands to smooth, and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 10-14 minutes, until just firm, not golden or brown. Remove from the oven and immediately remove the cookies from the cookie sheet so they don't continue baking.

Step 7

Once slightly cooled, roll each cookie in powdered sugar or dust with additional powdered sugar.
