Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
0.5 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2.25 cups all-purpose flour
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
0.5 cup powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions
1. Cream the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
3. Add flour and salt gradually, mixing until a dough forms.
4. Fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
5. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until bottoms are lightly golden but tops remain pale.
8. Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar. Cool, then roll again for a snowy finish.
Notes
Use room-temperature butter for the best texture.
Rolling cookies twice in powdered sugar gives them the perfect snowy finish.
