- 1 cup butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar, plus more as needed
Chocolate Coating:
- 4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Toothpicks
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Beat in 4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar until dough is stiff, firm, and dry with no lumps; adding more sifted sugar as needed.
- Roll dough into about sixty 1-inch balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheets. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball and chill in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Place chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until melted and smooth.
