Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and 3/4 cup of powdered sugar using an electric mixer until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop teaspoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into small balls with your hands. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The cookies should remain pale in color overall.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar for a snowy finish.
Serve and enjoy your Penzey's Chocolate Chip Kisses!
