Chocolate-Chip Christmas Balls
Prep 25 mins Bake 350°F 15 mins  per batch

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons  butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup  cream cheese, softened (2 ounces)
  • 1/3 cup  granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon  salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons  vanilla extract
  • 1 cup  all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup  white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 12 ounce package miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup  confectioners' sugar
  • 2/3 teaspoon  fat-free milk

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, beat butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and 2 teaspoons vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the all-purpose flour and white whole-wheat flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Stir in the chocolate chips.
