¾ cup mini chocolate chips (or chopped nuts)
Additional powdered sugar (for rolling (about 1 - 1 1/2 cups))

  • Mix butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, cocoa, and vanilla with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together. Stir in the chocolate chips. If dough is too soft, chill it until you can work it easily with your hands.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon balls of dough and place on prepared cookie sheet.
  • Bake cookies for 7-10 minutes until bottoms are just slightly brown and the tops are no longer glossy. Remove from oven and cool for 5-10 minutes, until you can handle them. Fill a small bowl with 1 cup powdered sugar and roll each cookie in the sugar until coated. Place on a rack to cool. (Once cookies are cooled, you may want to re-roll them in more powdered sugar.)

SNOWBALLS II



Snowballs II image

These are technically Mexican Wedding Cakes or Russian Teacakes, but my grandmother gave up on us calling them that years ago!

Provided by Lori Dehn

Categories     Desserts     Cookies

Time 45m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed
¼ cup finely crushed peppermint candy canes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cream the butter with 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the vanilla. Mix in the flour, pecans, and salt. Roll about 1 tablespoon or so of dough into balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Do not allow these cookies to get too brown: it's better to undercook them than to overcook them. While cookies are still hot, roll them in confectioners' sugar. Once they have cooled, roll them in confectioners' sugar once more.
