Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Mix in flour and salt until just combined and a soft dough forms—do not overmix.
4. Fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
5. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly golden but tops remain pale.
7. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes, then roll warm cookies in the remaining powdered sugar.
8. Once cooled, roll cookies in powdered sugar a second time for a snowy finish.
Notes
Use room temperature butter for the best dough texture.
Roll the cookies in powdered sugar twice for a thick, snowy coating.
Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft and fresh for days.
