Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g/8 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ¼ cups (279g/9.8 oz) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170g/6 oz) mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup (57g/2 oz) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- Additional powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preparation: Position oven racks in the middle and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper for easy cookie removal.
- Mixing Base: Utilize an electric mixer to cream butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy, creating a smooth foundational mixture.
- Dough Formation: Sift flour and salt into the butter mixture, blending gradually to develop a uniform dough. Fold in mini chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Chilling and Shaping: Allow dough to rest in the refrigerator for 20-25 minutes if too soft. Scoop uniform portions onto prepared baking sheets, spacing each mound 2 inches apart to prevent merging during baking.
- Baking Process: Slide trays into the preheated oven and bake for 8-9 minutes. Look for golden-tinged edges and a slightly set center, indicating perfect doneness.
- Finishing Touch: Immediately after removing from the oven, let cookies rest briefly. While still warm, delicately roll each cookie in powdered sugar, creating an elegant, frost-like exterior.
- Cooling and Serving: Transfer cookies to a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely and develop their signature melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Notes
- Chill Dough for Perfection: Refrigerating the dough for 20-25 minutes helps firm up the mixture, making it easier to shape and preventing overspread during baking.
- Master Chocolate Distribution: Fold mini chocolate chips gently with a spatula to ensure even distribution, guaranteeing a perfect chocolate chip in every delectable bite.
- Watch Baking Time Closely: Bake for exactly 8-9 minutes, looking for subtle golden edges and a slightly set center to achieve the ideal soft, chewy texture.
- Sugar Coating Technique: Roll warm cookies in powdered sugar immediately after baking to create a delicate, snow-like finish that adds a sweet, melt-in-your-mouth experience.
