These cookies are excellent. I don’t even know if “cookie” is the correct term for them, but neither is just straight “truffle”. The only way to understand them is to eat them. So bake them (preferably right now)- you won’t be sorry. And that’s all I’m saying about them.

(Oh yeah- if you notice some gaps in the process photos, it’s cause I kept forgetting to take pictures- oops.)

Preheat oven to 375* Lightly grease cookie sheets. In a large bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.

Blend in vanilla and chocolate.

At low speed, blend in flour and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.

Shape into 1-inch balls; place on prepared cookie sheets.

Bake at 375* for 10 minutes; cool.

In small bowl, combine 1/4 powdered sugar and cocoa.

Roll cooled cookies in cocoa mixture. If you wanted to get really fancy, you could put the cookies in those little mini cupcake wrappers. That would look really cute and professional.

Yummy!
