  • Salt – ½ teaspoon, to enhance flavor depth and balance sweetness
  • Cornstarch – 2 tablespoons, for added softness and a pillowy texture

  • Granulated sugar – ¾ cup, for balanced sweetness and slight crisp edges
  • Brown sugar – ½ cup, packed, adds moisture and depth of flavor

  • Pure vanilla extract – 2 teaspoons, for aromatic warmth and enhanced sweetness
  • Mini chocolate chips – 1 cup, for gooey pockets of chocolate
  • Chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) – ½ cup, for subtle crunch contrast
  • Powdered sugar – for dusting after baking, giving a delicate, snowy finish
