Sweet Treat

This recipe is from the Nestle Chocolate Co. Funny thing is, it was printed on a grocery store coupon, the type you get with your register receipt. Typically I wouldn't give a recipe from a store a second thought because I have so many of my own recipes that I love. It intrigued me so I baked a batch the other day.

Yummy! Bite in and a burst of flavor and melt in your mouth sensation. These might be my next favorite cookie recipe.

Mini chip Snowball Cookies
makes about five dozen

1 1/2 C butter, softened (3 sticks)
3/4 C powered sugar
1 T vanilla flavoring
1/2 tsp salt
3 C all purpose flour
2 C Nestle MINI chocolate morsels
1/2 C finely chopped walnuts
Powered sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Beat butter, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until creamy and smooth.
Gradually beat in the flour; stir in the nuts and mini chips.
Shape tablespoons of dough into round balls.
Place on ungreased cookies sheets (the cookies don't spread much)
Bake for 10 -12 minutes until bottoms are just golden (the cookies were done in my gas oven after 10 1/2 minutes)
Remove from oven and sift powdered sugar on hot cookies while still on cookie sheet.
Cool completely.
Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container.
Enjoy!
