Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (Crystal) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Cream butter, 3/4 cup powdered sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Beat in flour, in batches, on low speed. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Shape into 1-inch balls (I use a cookie scoop). Place 1-inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Using the tines of a fork, lightly flatten each round of dough, gently pushing them back into a circle shape.
  • Bake at 325° for 15-18 minutes or until set but not brown.
  • Remove from cookie sheets and let cool for 1 minute. Placing 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a hand-held strainer. Shake sugar over tops over partially cooled cookies.
