How to make Adorable Snowball Chocolate Chips Cookies?

Below I will run you through briefly how to make these Snowball Chocolate Chips Cookies-

• First - The first step is to combine the AP Flour with softened unsalted butter, salt, Vanilla Extract, Chocolate Chips, and granulated sugar. Yes, that's right you just dump all of the ingredients in a large bowl and combine it with your hands. Now, it's important that you use your hands for this step. The butter will melt from the warmth of your hands and make the flour coarse and mealy.

• It should reach a consistency that when you make a dough ball and clump together, it should stick together. Since we are making a shortbread cookie dough so there is no use of Baking soda or Eggs or Milk.

• The dough will look too dry however when you make small cookie dough balls, it should clump together. Do not worry even if it not a perfect shape.
• Now, you need to freeze the cookie dough for 15 minutes (uncovered) or refrigerate for 30 minutes.

• Finally, pop these cookies in a preheated oven at 350 F or 180C and bake for 10-15 minutes.
• Finally, get the cookies out on the counter and cool it down to room temperature for 5-10 minutes. The cookies will be soft when they get out of the oven. Just give it 5 minutes and they will quickly harden up.
• When the cookies are not too hot to touch, roll them in granulated sugar. After 30 minutes, re-roll them in granulated sugar and then serve. It is important to give a double coating of granulated sugar over the cookies so that the sugar sticks to the cookies and they get that adorable white color over them.

How to store Snowball Chocolate Chips Cookies?

To store these cookies, wrap them up with plastic food wrap and store in a sealed freezer friendly bag. This will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. Before serving, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and re-roll in granulated sugar, and then serve.

Why do my Snowball Cookies fall apart?

If your snowball cookies are falling apart chances are you have used less quantity of butter or you are using a low-quality butter. I use Land'O Lakes Butter for this recipe. And the ratio for Flour to Butter is 1:3. Which means that 1 Cup AP Flour, requires 3 sticks of Unsalted Butter. If measuring in cups then for 1 Cup of AP Flour, you would need 21/2 cups of Unsalted Butter.

Do not use Melted Butter. Always use softened butter which is cubed. Cubed butter will combine with the flour quickly.

PRO TIP- If using cold butter, grate the butter using a box grater and then combine it with the flour. Grated Butter will combine with flour even quickly.
