Ingredients
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (57g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (279g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (170g) mini chocolate chips
- Additional powdered sugar for rolling
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
2. Mix Butter, Sugar, and Vanilla
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, ½ cup powdered sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is fluffy.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, continuing to mix until the dough is well combined and uniform.
4. Add Chocolate Chips
Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
5. Chill the Dough (if necessary)
If the dough is too soft to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until it becomes manageable.
6. Shape and Bake
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until the bottoms are just lightly golden.
7. Roll in Sugar
Allow the cookies to cool slightly before rolling them in additional powdered sugar until fully coated. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe yields approximately 24 cookies. The total preparation time is about 45 minutes, which includes 10 minutes of active baking time and additional time for cooling and rolling the cookies.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Storage: Keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezing: Place the cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored frozen for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: While these cookies are best enjoyed at room temperature, they can be gently warmed in a microwave if desired.
