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!

- Sift together the flour and the salt.
- Slowly add to the butter mixture.

- While still warm, (not hot, not cold) roll through powdered sugar.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture to the cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly soft: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
These tropical cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, sweet banana flavor, and creamy coconut frosting, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tropical treat, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
