Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies
Description
These cookies start by creaming room-temperature butter with granulated sugar, then incorporating egg and vanilla for moisture and flavor. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour and salt are sifted and folded into the dough along with chopped walnuts or pecans and chocolate chips.
The dough is portioned into one-inch balls and baked at a moderate temperature until the bottoms develop a slight golden edge. After cooling slightly, the cookies are rolled in powdered sugar, giving them their characteristic snowball appearance. The combination of nutty crunch, melty chocolate, and sweet powdered sugar creates a balanced texture and flavor.
They can be stored in airtight containers and are suitable for serving with tea or coffee, or as a festive holiday cookie.
