Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus more for rolling)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring until a soft dough forms. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until bottoms are lightly golden but tops remain pale.
- Cool and Coat: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then roll warm cookies in powdered sugar. Once completely cooled, roll again in powdered sugar for a snowy finish.
Notes
- For a crunchier bite, use crunchy peanut butter.
- These cookies freeze well and can be made ahead for holiday gatherings.
