Description

These Double Chocolate Snowball Cookies are rich, fudgy, and coated in a delicate dusting of confectioners sugar. Made with cocoa, mini chocolate chips, and buttery dough, these cookies are a perfect treat for chocolate lovers looking for a melt-in-your-mouth experience with a snowy sugar finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

For Coating

  • 1–2 cups confectioners sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the room temperature butter, ½ cup confectioners sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the bowl, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Shape Cookies: Scoop out portions of dough and roll each into 1-inch balls. Place these balls on the prepared baking sheets spaced at least 1 inch apart to allow for spreading.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies turn a light brown. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender.
  7. Initial Cooling and Coating: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 3 to 5 minutes just until they can be handled but are still warm. Roll each cookie in confectioners sugar, coating them well.
  8. Final Cooling and Coating: Transfer the coated cookies to a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, roll them again in confectioners sugar for a perfect snowy finish before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overbake the cookies to maintain their soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • Rolling the cookies in confectioners sugar while warm helps it stick better for a beautiful coating.
  • The double coating of confectioners sugar gives the cookies their classic snowball appearance and sweet balance.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular-sized chips if mini chips are unavailable.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
