Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter with 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Mix in flour and salt until they're just combined. Stir in coconut.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake until just starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Roll the warm cookies in confectioners' sugar; let cool completely.
Tips:
- Use fresh, shredded coconut. Fresh coconut has a much better flavor than dried coconut. If you can't find fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but be sure to toast it in the oven before using it.
- Don't overcook the coconut mixture. The coconut mixture should be cooked until it is just starting to turn golden brown. If you overcook it, the coconut mixture will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the coconut mixture cool completely before shaping it into balls. This will help the coconut mixture to set properly and prevent it from falling apart.
- Roll the coconut balls in chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts. This will add extra flavor and texture to the coconut balls.
- Store the coconut balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Coconut balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give coconut balls a try!
