Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, and salt until smooth. Add in egg and vanilla extract, beat until combined.
Add flour and beat just until a dough ball forms. Add in mini chocolate chips.
Use a small 1 Tablespoon cookie scoop and roll dough into a ball. Set on a cookie sheet about 1-2 inches apart.
Bake in a preheated oven for 13-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and roll in powdered sugar while warm. Allow cookies to cool completely, then roll a second time in powdered sugar.
Notes
Be generous with the powdered sugar. It’s what gives them their unique look (and taste)!
Store snowball cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Freeze snowball cookies in a freezer safe airtight container for up to three months. Thaw on counter overnight, then roll in powdered sugar again if needed.
For gluten free substitutions, swap out the all-purpose flour for King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten free flour. Be sure to check your chocolate to make sure you have allergy friendly chips.
