Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus more for rolling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the bottoms are just set.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes, then roll them in powdered sugar while still warm.
- Once completely cool, roll them in powdered sugar a second time for a snowy finish.
Notes
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for best flavor.
- Chilling the dough helps the cookies maintain their shape.
- Store in an airtight container to keep cookies fresh and soft.
