Description
These Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies are a delicious twist on the classic pecan snowballs—rich, buttery, and studded with melty chocolate chips, then rolled in snowy powdered sugar. They melt in your mouth with every bite and bring a touch of nostalgia with a chocolatey upgrade. No nuts, no fuss, just pure holiday joy.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup powdered sugar (plus more for coating)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in vanilla extract.
Add flour and salt gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Fold in mini chocolate chips.
Scoop into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheets, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until bottoms are lightly golden (tops will remain pale).
Let cool for 5 minutes, then roll warm cookies in powdered sugar. Cool completely and roll again for a snowy finish.
