Coconut Snowballs

If you're a coconut lover,

you'll love these snowballs.
A favourite of my Grandkids.
An easy recipe for children
to get involved and help create.

Dipped in icing sugar (confectioners sugar), 

and rolled in coconut, 
these decadent snowballs are

 sure to add sweetness and prettiness 

to an afternoon tea, also

 great for a children's party.

Ingredients:
Makes 2 dozen 

1/2 cup unsalted softened butter
3 tablespoons icing sugar (confectioners sugar)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract (I used coconut extract)
Pinch of salt.
1 cup all-purpose flour.
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
(Walnuts can be substituted for any nuts, raisins 
 or chocolate chips etc.)

For the dipping:
1 cup icing sugar (confectioners sugar),
2 tbsp. milk (approx)
1 1/2 cups coconut 

Instructions

Cream together the butter 

and the icing sugar

 with an electric mixer.
Add the vanilla and salt.

Add in the flour.
Stir in the nuts.
(dough may look like it's missing liquid,
it's not, press it together.)

Place dough in refrigerator

 wrapped in plastic wrap
 for approx. 1/2 hr.

Remove from fridge.

Preheat oven to 350 deg. F

Shape dough in small balls,

using your hands or a small

cookie scoop, approximately 

  1 inch in diameter.

Place on cookie sheets.




Bake for 12-14 minutes.

Do not over bake.
They should be slightly brown

 on the bottom but not
 cracked on the top.

Cool completely.

Glaze

Mix together the icing sugar (confectioners sugar)

and milk until smooth but not thick.
Place coconut for dipping in another bowl.

Dip cookies in glaze letting it drip down sides.
I hold it between 2 forks and 

let the excess drip off.
Dip and roll into coconut 

until completely covered.

(this can be messy)



Place on a rack to let the glaze harden. 

Enjoy!

They taste as good as they look!!
