Chocolate Snowball Cookies Recipe (Chocolate Crinkle Cookies)
In this post: Chocolate Snowball Cookies Recipe: easy-to-make, moist chocolate cookies that stay fresh in an air-tight container for days!
Â
I’m trying so hard to stay in the Christmas spirit…I seem to be coming and going a bit these days! So I thought an hour in the kitchen baking cookies might help and guess what? It did. These little Chocolate Snowball Cookies (sometimes called Chocolate Crinkle Cookies) are easy, fast and oh so moist. It’s a recipe I found in my recipe box (yes, another one) that was written by my husband’s aunt. I remember making them once or twice many years ago. I wanted something a little festive, hence the snowball angle, and easy too. These little cookies are both.

Notes
Chocolate Snowball Cookies Recipe Tips
- Make heaping scoops of dough. As you are rolling the scoops in the powdered sugar, make them into a ball shape.
- If you bake the cookies in batches, make sure to put the dough back in the refrigerator so it doesn’t get warm.
- These cookies stay moist in an air-tight container for several days…although they probably won’t last that long!
