Time 47m

Yield 40 cookies, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (12 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
3/4 cup superfine sugar (5 1/2 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon table salt
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into sixteen 1/2-inch pieces, at cool room temperature (2 sticks)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar (6 ounces)
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, pulsed in food processor until finely chopped, about fifteen 1-second pulses

Steps:

  • Cookies:.
  • In bowl of standing mixer fitted with flat beater, mix flour, lime zest, sugar, and salt on low speed until combined, about 5 seconds. With mixer running on low, add butter 1 piece at a time; continue to mix until mixture looks crumbly and slightly wet, about 1 minute longer. Add vanilla and cream cheese and mix on low until dough just begins to form large clumps, about 30 seconds.
  • Use hands to roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake one batch at a time in 375-degree oven until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
  • Glaze:.
  • Whisk cream cheese and 2 tablespoons lime juice in medium bowl until combined and no lumps remain. Whisk in confectioners' sugar until smooth, adding remaining lime juice as needed until glaze is thin enough to spread easily.
  • Dip tops of cookies into glaze and scrape away excess, then dip into coconut. Set cookies on parchment-lined baking sheet; let stand until glaze dries and sets, about 20 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I actually really enjoyed these snowballs. The lime glaze is what really makes them special.

These coconut snowballs are a great way to use up leftover coconut. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.

I love how versatile these coconut snowballs are. I've made them with different glazes, and I've even added chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter. They're always delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my coconut snowballs turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These coconut snowballs are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try making them with a different glaze next time.
