CHOCOLATE CHIP SNOWBALL COOKIES

These chocolate chip snowball cookies are made with no eggs and just 6 ingredients! Simple, sweet, and utterly addictive, these buttery cookies melt in your mouth! Be sure to coat yours with a generous dusting of powdered sugar while they’re still warm for that classic “snowball” look.

The original recipe calls for finely chopped nuts, which we have always omitted because they would overwhelm these otherwise super soft cookies. The texture is perfect as is, the cookie melts in your mouth alongside melty mini chocolate chips… pure heaven in snowball cookie form.

Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies Recipe
A simple recipe for egg-free cookies, these Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies are easy to make and absolutely melt in your mouth! Recipe adapted from Tollhouse.



Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened (340g)
• ¾ cup powdered sugar 105g
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose (plain) flour (375g)
• 2 cups mini chocolate chips
• Additional powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper*.
2. Place butter in the bowl of a stand mixer (or you can use a large bowl and an electric mixer) and beat until creamy.
3. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and beat again (start on low speed and then increase to high) until the mixture is creamy and well-combined.
4. Gradually add all-purpose flour until ingredients are well incorporated (be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl!). 
5. Add mini chocolate chips and use a spatula or your mixer on low speed to stir them into your cookie dough (dough will be stiff).
6. Scoop cookie dough by approximately 1 Tablespoon and roll between your hands to form a smooth ball. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and place cookie dough balls at least 1" apart.
7. Bake on 375F (190C) for 10-12 minutes or until bottom edges are just beginning to turn light golden brown.
8. Remove from oven and sprinkle/sift powdered sugar overtop cookies while they are still warm.
9. Allow to cool and enjoy!
