Description
A delightful twist on the classic snowball cookie, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies combine creamy peanut butter and bursts of chocolate in a soft, powdered-sugar-dusted treat. Perfect for the holidays or any time you need a comforting bite!
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
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. - Cream the Butter and Peanut Butter:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter together until light and fluffy. - Add the Sweetness and Flavor:
Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined. - Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. - Shape the Cookies:
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. - Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The cookies will firm up as they cool. - Coat in Powdered Sugar:
Once the cookies are cool enough to handle but still warm, roll them in powdered sugar. Let them cool completely, then roll them a second time for a snowy finish.
Notes
These cookies are perfect for any occasion, especially the holidays. The second roll in powdered sugar gives them that classic snowball look and makes them extra festive.
