I forgot to post this before Christmas. Sorry
These 'cookies' were my favorite as a little girl. I have pictures of me making them with my Grandma when I was 4 or 5. They are easy for kids to make, but adults truly enjoy them. I had to include them in my Christmas baking. I gave away christmas treats to my friends and everyone loved these snowballs.
The recipe is so simple.
Blend well together;
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1 1/2 cups fine coconut
1/2 cup butter
1/2 tsp almond extract
It will all come together and be basically the consistency of butter. Roll into small balls.
Cut Marachino cherries, chopped in 1/4 or 1/6
Insert a piece of marachino cherry into the center of each cookie. Re-roll into a ball.
Roll in more fine coconut.
Chill; keep in the refrigerator.
The cherry is such a nice surprise inside.
