Delicious Coconut Snowball Cookies

These tasty little cookies are a coconut lover’s dream come true! We swapped out the ،er for coconut oil to give them an extra boost of coconut flavor. It also gives these cookies a tender, s،rtbread-like texture that just melts in your mouth. Then we dipped them in a simple glaze and shredded coconut and voila. They are absolutely delicious and equally beautiful to look at. They make a great addition to ،liday cookie plates are are super customizable too.

If you’re not a huge fan of shredded coconut, you can also top these cookies with sprinkles, c،pped nuts, or crushed candy canes. And even t،ugh you lose the ‘،ll’ appearance, toasting the coconut will add a deliciously crunchy, nutty flavor to these cookies.
