Cherry Snowball Cookies
(Makes 36 cookies)
Cherry Snowball Cookies
Ingredients:
Cookies:
1 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
2 cups flour
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
36 maraschino cherries, drained and patted dry
Coating:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 to 1/3 cup milk
2 cups shredded coconut, finely chopped
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
With an electric mixer, cream the butter and confectioners' sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and coconut extract. Add the flour, oatmeal, and salt; beat until the mixture comes together into a dough.
Divide the dough and form into 36 balls about 1-inch in diameter.
Flatten each ball into a disk in the palm of your hand, place a cherry in the center, and reshape the dough around the cherry into a ball, completely enclosing the cherry.
Place the balls about 2-inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and enough milk to achieve a smooth dipping consistency. Dip each cookie into the icing mixture and then roll the cookie in the coconut. Place the cookies on a clean baking sheet and refrigerate or let stand at room temperature until set.
