Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar for rolling cookies
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter, 0.5 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until dough forms. Stir in the mini chocolate chips. If dough is soft, chill until easy to handle.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes until the bottoms are lightly browned. Remove and let cool for a minute.
- Roll each warm cookie gently in powdered sugar to coat. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack and re-roll in powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week and can be frozen for longer storage. For a nutty variation, try adding chopped pecans or walnuts.
