Mini chip snowball cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I made these for my youngest goddaughter, Sara, who stopped by to visit tonight.  She loves them, as does Rob.  She brought a couple back to her dorm room and so I am bringing in the rest to work tomorrow for the start of the MLB playoffs.  

These are super simple and a huge hit with everyone!

Remember to scoop your flour and powdered sugar from your containers into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.

  • 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups mini chocolate chips

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Mix in dry ingredients.   Fold in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups dough.  Chill.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 12 to 14 minutes, no longer.  Sprinkle warm cookies with powdered sugar. 

Store in covered container.

For my final treat of 2025, I made lemon frosted cake mix squares.  I didn’t have a lemon cake mix, so I used a white one and added some lemon extract, along with the other ingredients.  These are for my friend rib’s birthday and as luck for the Sabres, who go for their 10th straight win tonight against the Stars, one of the best teams in the NHL.

These are super simple, don’t require a ton of ingredients or time.  You can leave them plain or frost them.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 white cake mix
  • 1 sugar cookie mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tsp lemon extract

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9×13 pan with baking spray.  In a bowl, combine mixes.   Blend in butter, then eggs and extract.  Evenly spread into prepared pan.   Bake 18 to 20 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.

  • Frosting ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbs lemon juice

In a bowl, combine ingredients.  Frost bars.  Cut and store in covered container.

Go Sabres!!
