Victory monday, wildcard version- XL snowball cookies with mini chocolate chips

In honor of our first road playoff win since 1992, I present extra large snowball cookies with mini chocolate chips.  my stress level was through the roof.  I stood the last 8 minutes, didn’t take a breath and frightened our dog when I yelled when cole bishop got the game winning interception.    Yowsa.  One win down 3 to go.

These really are like a Mexican wedding cake/Russian tea cake/Italian wedding cake cookies with just a few ingredients – butter, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, water, and mini chocolate chips.  Super simple.  They stay puffy and are baked in no time.
