Bake Up Some Holiday Magic with Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Snowballs!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Add in the vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda. Mix until well combined.
Gradually stir in the flour, followed by the oats (if using). Once incorporated, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
2. Shape the Snowballs:

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls between your hands. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
3. Bake the Snowballs:

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Dust with Powdered Sugar:

Once the cookies have cooled completely, dust them generously with powdered sugar to give them that “snowball” effect.
5. Serve and Enjoy:

Enjoy these peanut butter chocolate chip snowballs as a sweet treat with a glass of milk or a warm cup of cocoa. They’re perfect for sharing with family and friends or for adding to your holiday cookie tray!
