Time 1h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon fine salt
1 large egg white

1 (4 ounce) bar semisweet chocolate, chopped, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine condensed milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, salt, and egg white in a bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Add about 2 1/3 cups shredded coconut. Mix with a spatula until mixture is sticky and holds together. Form into balls using a sorbet scoop.

CHOCOLATE COCONUT SNOWBALLS



Chocolate Coconut Snowballs image

This recipe is from the back of an old bag of "M & M's" Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Bits. I am glad I saved it, because these are great cookies and the recipe is no longer available, even on their website. This recipe is one of thirty or so varieties that I make every Christmas and it is always a favorite. *Added 12/30/07: I don't add the M & M baking bits AFTER the dough is refrigerated. I never understood why that was necessary and since I stopped doing it I've noticed no difference. I couldn't find the M & M's this year, so used a 10 oz. bag of Hershey Kissables and they came out just as good.* --K
