Time 30m

Yield Makes 36

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar, plus more for dusting
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • 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:

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.

  • To make the coconut balls even more festive, roll them in colored sprinkles or chopped nuts before serving.
  • To save time, you can use a food processor to grind the coconut.
  • If the mixture is too dry to roll, add a little more sweetened condensed milk.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add a little more coconut.
  • Chill the coconut balls for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
