Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
For Rolling:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir until combined.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the bottoms are set but the cookies are still soft.
- Roll in powdered sugar: Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the pan, then roll them in powdered sugar while still warm. Once completely cooled, roll them in powdered sugar again for a snowy finish.
Notes
- For extra richness, use dark cocoa powder.
- You can substitute regular chocolate chips, but mini chips distribute more evenly.
- Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
