How to Make Fat Santa's

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Place the balls onto ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, shape the cookies into Fat Santas. Attach smaller balls of dough for arms and legs. Use a small amount of corn syrup as ‘glue’ to secure the pieces.
  12. Decorate with candy melts, sprinkles, or other festive toppings as desired.
