3. Are you looking for a unique and delightful dessert that will wow your friends and family? Look no further! In this step-by-step guide, we'll show you how to make scrumptious chocolate snowballs baked goods.

5. ### Ingredients:
6. - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
7. - 2 cups powdered sugar
8. - 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
9. - 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
10. - 2 cups all-purpose flour
11. - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12. - 1/4 teaspoon salt
13. - 1 large egg
14. - 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
16. ### Equipment:
17. - Mixing bowls
18. - Electric mixer or stand mixer
19. - Measuring spoons and cups
20. - Baking sheet
21. - Parchment paper
22. - Fork or rolling pin
24. ### Detailed Steps:
26. #### Step 1: Preheat the Oven
27. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your chocolate snowballs will bake evenly.
29. #### Step 2: Prepare the Dough
30. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add in the cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Mix well.
32. #### Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
33. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can toughen the dough.
35. #### Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients
36. Stir in the egg and milk (if using) until the dough comes together. The consistency should be soft but not too sticky.
38. #### Step 5: Form the Snowballs
39. Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll each piece into a ball, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to expand slightly during baking.
41. #### Step 6: Bake
42. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
44. ### Tips:
45. - For an extra festive touch, roll each cookie in powdered sugar after they have cooled.
46. - To ensure perfect snowball cookies every time, use high-quality ingredients like unsalted butter and cocoa powder.
47. - Adjust baking times if using larger or smaller balls; the key is to ensure they are fully set on the outside but still soft in the middle.
49. ### Conclusion:
50. Chocolate snowballs baked goods are a delightful addition to any dessert spread. These easy-to-make treats offer a sweet, rich chocolate flavor that will delight your guests. Whether you're baking for a special occasion or just want to satisfy a sweet tooth, these cookies are sure to become a favorite. Enjoy the process and the delicious results!
