Instruction

  • In a large bowl mix butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add salt and vanilla extract and continue mixing until combined.

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Take about a spoon of dough, flatten, add a piece of chocolate in the center, wrap the dough around it and roll into a ball.
  • Place dough balls into the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake for about 12-13 minutes, until slightly browned. Make sure you do not overbake otherwise the cookies could crack.
  • Let cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes.

  • Let them cool completely and roll in powdered sugar again if necessary.
