Chocolate Snowballs

I got the urge to bake tonight and realized that I had all of the ingredients for these.  I messed around with some recipes I found online, because I didn't have nuts, and this was the result.

Merry Christmas!



Chocolate Snowballs




Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 cup (or more) powdered sugar
1.  Preheat the oven to 350 and grease 3 cookie sheets.
2.  Soften the butter and beat with the sugar (granulated, not the powdered) in a stand mixer.
3.  Add other wet ingredients, then dry ingredients one by one, excluding the powdered sugar.
4.  Work the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and arrange on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
5.  Cook for 15 minutes.
6.  Let cool for a few minutes, then roll in powdered sugar to coat.  Make sure they are still a little bit warm, this will aid in the adhesion of the powdered sugar.  
7.  Enjoy!

This recipe should make about 5 dozen cookies.  They are one point each on the Weight Watchers plan.
