    This easy recipe for melt in your mouth coconut snowballs makes a perfect batch of cookies for any time of the year. So sweet with a cup of tea!

    coconut snowballs

    Two things.

    First of all, I realize that I already have a post on the blog called Coconut Snowball Cookies. They are the ones that look like this:

    coconut snowball cookies

    And they are very scrumptious cookies.

    This easy recipe for melt in your mouth coconut snowballs makes a perfect batch of cookies for any time of the year. So sweet with a cup of tea! Click to Tweet But now I have another recipe for a cookie that needs to be called Coconut Snowballs, and these cookies are actually pretty different from my other coconut snowball cookies, and so I wracked my overworked brain for something else to call the new guys.

    And I came up with…nothing. So sorry about all the coconut snowball confusion, but I can promise that both of these recipes are very worth making.

    Second thing is this: you’d think that I would be organized enough to make something called “Coconut Snowballs” when it looked like this outside:

    dog in snow

    Instead of like this:

    cherry blossoms

    But at this point, I am complicating just about everything that has to do with the whole coconut snowball thing, so I figured I would just go ahead and post the darn thing.

    Because they ARE melt in your mouth delicious, and to be honest, there’s no wrong time to make a coconut cookie, right?

    Here’s the recipe. :-)

    This easy recipe for melt in your mouth coconut snowballs makes a perfect batch of cookies for any time of the year. So sweet with a cup of tea!

    • Author: Kate Morgan Jackson
    • Prep Time: 20 minutes
    • Cook Time: 30 minutes
    • Total Time: 50 minutes
    • Yield: About 24 cookies
    • Category: Dessert
    • Method: Oven
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter at room temperature
    • 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar, plus more for garnish
    • 2 cups flour
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
    2. Combine butter with 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar and beat with a mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
    3. Stir flour and salt together and mix with the butter mixture until just combined. Stir in coconut.
    4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and put them about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
    5. Bake until just starting to brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Roll the warm cookies in confectioners’ sugar and (this is the hardest part)  let them cool completely before eating.  I KNOW! SO HARD!

      These look delicious and so easy! I'm loving the taste of coconut right now (just made a coconut cookie last week). It seems to say "spring" to me.
