TROPICAL HAWAIIAN SNOWBALLS (HAWAIIAN-STYLE RUSSIAN TEA COOKIES)
These delicious cookies are like snowballs in that when they are left out they disappear quickly. No, they don't melt, but it seems that they attract little menehune (Hawaiian elves) that just love to gobble them all up when you're not looking! Cooking time includes 30 minutes for cookies to cool off. Also feel free to play around with the extracts. I have used pineapple extract with coconut extract, coconut and banana, and butter, rum and vanilla. All have come out well!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line 5 cookie sheets with parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar and vanilla and coconut extracts.
- Sift together the flour and the salt.
- Slowly add to the butter mixture.
- Add nuts. Mix until blended well.
- Roll into small, bite sized balls. (about 3/4 of an ounce or 2 tablespoons). I like to use a small #40 portion disher (small, 3/4 ounce sized, ice cream scoop) and place 1-inch apart on prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until slightly golden.
- While still warm, (not hot, not cold) roll through powdered sugar.
- Keeps about a week (but they won't be around that long) in an air-tight container.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks on upperand lower thirds. On a clean work surface, toss nuts with dried fruit. Sprinkle over dough; knead until just blended.
- Form into 1-inch balls; place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake cookies in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching positions of sheets halfway through, until edges are barely golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Dust with sugar.
Tips:
- To create a smooth snowball, it's crucial to use a fine-toothed grater or a food processor to achieve a light and fluffy texture for the ice shavings.
- For a perfectly round snowball shape, employ a cookie scoop to ensure consistent and even portions.
- When creating the snowball syrup, utilize a heavy saucepan to evenly distribute heat and prevent scorching. Ensure the syrup reaches a thick consistency before removing it from the heat.
- For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the syrup. Additionally, you can incorporate various flavorings like coconut extract, pineapple juice, or grenadine for a unique twist.
- Chill the syrup thoroughly before pouring it over the ice shavings to maintain the snowball's icy texture.
- Garnish your Hawaiian Snowballs with a maraschino cherry, a pineapple wedge, or a colorful paper parasol for an authentic Hawaiian presentation.
