Snowball Cookie Recipe
Description
This Snowball Cookie Recipe starts with creamed butter and powdered sugar to create a light, fluffy base. Vanilla extract adds depth of flavor, while salt balances sweetness. Flour is blended in to form a thick dough, which becomes the body of the cookie.
White chocolate chips bring soft bursts of sweetness and a creamy texture. Optional colorful sprinkles or mini chocolate chips can add visual and textural variation. Cookies are scooped to uniform size and baked at 375°F until they begin to lightly brown at the edges, ensuring a tender but structured bite.
After cooling, the cookies may be dusted with more powdered sugar for a traditional snowy appearance. They store well in airtight containers, maintaining their smooth texture. This recipe yields a festive treat that combines texture softening from butter with crunchy chunks and a sweet vanilla undertone.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter salted or unsalted, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2-1 cup Sprinkles optional, in colors of your choice
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips optional
- powdered sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Beat butter and sugar with mixer until smooth and fluffy. Add in vanilla, mix well. Add in salt and flour, mixing until well combined. Mix in white chocolate chips, and if using add in either sprinkles and/or mini chocolate chips. Dough will be thick.
- Using a small cookie scoop, drop cookie dough onto cookie sheets, leaving about 2" between each cookie.
- Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until just starting to lightly brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for at least 10 minutes. If desired dust with powdered sugar.
- Store in airtight containers.
Notes
- This recipe uses one tablespoon of vanilla extract for pronounced flavor, which is intentional.
- You can customize by adding sprinkles or mini chocolate chips, but these are optional.
- Store cooled cookies in airtight containers to maintain freshness.
- Cookies bake until edges lightly brown but centers remain soft and tender.
