2 1/4 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
6 oz. pkg. (1 c.) chocolate chips

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets. In large bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Blend in vanilla and chocolate. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. At low speed, blend in flour and salt. By hand, fold in chocolate chips. Shape into 1 inch balls; place on prepared cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes; cool.

In small bowl, combine 1/4 cup powdered sugar and cocoa. Roll cooled cookies in cocoa mixture. (I sometimes use just Nestle's Quick.) 4 dozen.
