Description

Soft and tender, these snowball cookies are a wonderful addition to holiday gatherings, easy to make for cookie exchanges, and beautifully simple to package as gifts. Serve them alongside hot cocoa or coffee for a comforting winter treat that everyone will love!


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for rolling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Cream the Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
  5. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The tops will remain pale but should be firm to the touch.
  6. Roll in Powdered Sugar: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. While still warm, roll each cookie in powdered sugar to coat. Once fully cooled, roll them a second time for a snowy finish.
  7. Serve: Enjoy these peanut butter and chocolate treats with hot cocoa or coffee!

Notes

  • Double Sugar Coating: Rolling the cookies twice in powdered sugar gives them an extra snowy appearance and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
