Snowball Cookies


Oh these are soooo good. I can't even begin to tell you!
But I warn you they are NOT low fat. You will have to substitute on your own there lol.
Tis the season!!

Ingredients:


1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 TBS water
1 tsp vanilla
2 cup flour
1 cup quick oats
1/2 tsp salt
jarred maraschino cherries or Hershey's kisses or miniature snickers! The possibilities are endless
Coating:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
2 cups flaked coconut, chopped

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, water and vanilla.
Combine flour, oats, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.
Shape a tablespoon of dough around each cherry or Hershey's kiss, forming a ball.
Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 350 for 18-20 mins. or until bottoms are browned. Cool on racks.
Combine sugar and enough milk to achieve smooth dipping consistency.
Coat cookies in mixture then roll in the coconut.

Enjoy!!!

  3. Okay, so these snowballs look just like what my grandma always made for we kids all my growing up days and for some strange reason (unknown to me) we called them Grandma Grunt cookies. She didn't put coconut on hers, but otherwise they are the same.

    These would be great cookies to hand out to strangers in a waiting room, huh?

    :)

    Have a super duper Christmas!!!
