What Christmas cookies have chocolate chips?

I decided to add chocolate chips to my snowball cookies because I was trying to find a Christmas cookies recipe that uses chocolate chips. There aren’t that many! I happened to have a bag of chocolate chips in my house and I was in a baking mood, so that’s how I decided to make these chocolate chip snowball cookies. 

Snowball cookies are a classic holiday cookie recipe, so adding chocolate chips is a nice change of pace! I love these cookies so much because they melt right in your mouth. They pair so well with coffee or tea and I love that they are bite-sized.
