NO-BAKE SNOWBALLS
Slightly sweet, nutty little no-bake snowballs taste indulgent but are a pretty nutritionally sound snack, especially during the holidays. Full of cashews, coconut, agave, oats, and vanilla, they keep tummies satisfied without the sugar overload.

Steps:
- In a food processor or blender, blitz the oats and cashews until you have a fine meal, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the agave syrup, vanilla, salt, and water and blitz again briefly, just until the mixture resembles wet cookie dough.
- Dump the mixture into a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of the desiccated coconut. Shape into small balls. Place the remaining coconut on a plate and roll the balls to fully coat with coconut.
- Stored in a tin or jar in the refrigerator, the no-bake snowballs will keep for about a week.

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.
NAN MAY'S SNOWBALLS
Growing up in Newfoundland, I looked forward to Christmas each year for the huge family get-togethers, and of course the food that went along with them. This recipe is one that my Grandmother made every year. Definitely one of my favourite Christmas cookies.

NO BAKE SNOWBALLS
When I make these, they always bring me back to my childhood. They are perfect to make with children. Keep them in the freezer for the chewy texture or room temperature for soft melting texture. Either way they are sooo yummy!! This is a Christmas favorite!
