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!

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!
