Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and half a cup of powdered sugar until smooth.
• Melt the chocolate chips gently over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
• Mix the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the butter mixture until fully incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt, then gradually add to the chocolate mixture to form a dough.
• Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool slightly on the pan.
• While still warm, roll each ball in the remaining powdered sugar to coat completely. Let cool on a wire rack.
