CHOCOLATE SNOWBALLS
One year, after her first bite of this cookie, my DD sighed and said, "Now I know it's Christmas!" You will need to keep these frozen until needed or they will disappear! I usually make a couple of double batches, 6 dozen is not enough.

Steps:
- Melt the chocolate and shortening together over hot water, cool.
- Beat in the sugar until well blended. Add the vanilla.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder, and stir into the chocolate mixture.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl and chill for several hours or overnight.
- Divide the mixture in the bowl into halves, then each half into three equal pieces. Each piece makes one dozen cookies. Roll one piece into a log and cut log in half, then each half in half. Cut each small piece into thirds and you will have 6 dozen equal sized cookies.
- Roll each piece into a ball.
- I always mix these up in November and freeze them raw. Just set the balls on a wax-paper lined cookie sheet and set them in the freezer until they are hard. Now put the frozen cookies into a zip lock bag or rigid storage container.
- Now the fun part. If the balls are frozen roll each ball between your palms for a few seconds. Roll each ball in sifted powder sugar to coat thoroughly. Place the balls 2 inches apart on baking paper or lightly greased foil.
- Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes. Check after 8 minutes, ovens vary quite a bit. The cookies will be very soft, but will become firm as they cool.
