My mom made these every Christmas and we SO looked forward to them. The dough is almost like a shortbread and kind of melts in your mouth. I often make a double batch, using half red cherries and half green. Enjoy!

These cherry snowballs are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The cherry filling is delicious and the coconut coating adds a nice crunch.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of frosting. I found the cream cheese frosting to be a bit too sweet for my taste.
