Buttery, melt-in-your-mouth snowball cookies flavored with peppermint, tinted pale green, packed with mini chocolate chips, and rolled twice in powdered sugar.
Cookies:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 3 drops green gel food coloring
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup mini chocolate chips
Coating:
1½ cups powdered sugar
Heat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment.
Beat the butter, powdered sugar, peppermint, vanilla, and food coloring until smooth and fluffy.
Mix in the flour and salt on low until a soft dough forms. Stir in the mini chips.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place 1 inch apart. Chill 15 minutes if the dough is soft.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes until set with lightly golden bottoms.
Cool 5 minutes, then roll the warm cookies in powdered sugar.
Cool completely and roll again for a thick snowy coat.
Use mini chocolate chips.
Roll in powdered sugar twice.
Chill dough if it gets soft.
