Description

Delightfully soft and buttery, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Snowball Cookies combine the rich flavors of peanut butter and chocolate chips wrapped in a delicate powdered sugar coating. Perfect for holiday treats or any cozy occasion, these cookies offer a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a sweet, nutty taste.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 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

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  4. Incorporate chocolate chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to ensure each cookie has a good amount of chocolate.
  5. Shape cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
  6. Bake cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden and the tops look set but not browned.
  7. Cool and coat: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. While still warm, roll each cookie in additional powdered sugar to create the signature snowball effect.
  8. Final cooling: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the wire rack before serving or storing to ensure the powdered sugar coating sets properly.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and peanut butter for easier mixing and a smoother dough.
  • Rolling the cookies in powdered sugar while warm helps the coating to adhere better.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and verify chocolate chips are nut-free.
