“My step daughter has a nut allergy so when we started making cookies for the holiday season I swapped out my usual snowball recipe with this one”

3. Add Vanilla
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing just until the dough comes together (do not overmix).

5. Fold in Chocolate Chips
Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

6. Shape the Cookies
Scoop 1-tbsp portions of dough and roll into smooth balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

7. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 7–10 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden.

8. Sugar Coating
While still warm, roll each cookie in the remaining ½ cup powdered sugar for a snowy finish.

9. Cool & Double Coat (Optional)
Let cool completely on a wire rack. For extra sweetness, roll them in powdered sugar once more before serving.

🍽️ Enjoy!
These melt-in-your-mouth cookies are buttery, lightly sweet, and studded with chocolatey goodness. Perfect for gifting, holiday gatherings, or a cozy treat with coffee or tea!
