With a nod to the nostalgic
Snoballs snack muffins, these buttery coconut cookies with chocolate facilities are lined in a pink
glaze and pink coconut! Did I point out the CHOCOLATE facilities?!?

Mark and I can not cease consuming these delectable snowball cookies, and I feel
your loved ones will love them, too!
Listed here are a couple of suggestions for making Pink Snowball Cookies:
-
Use salted butter. The recipe requires it, and it actually is required. The
glaze and the coconut are candy, so the salt within the butter and within the
substances balances that sweetness a bit. -
Whereas I sometimes use gel paste meals coloring for adorned cookies,
Adams Extract® Meals Colour is ideal right here. Only a drop of pink tints the coconut and glaze the
excellent shade of pale pink. -
The glaze will arrange, however not as arduous as cookies with
royal icing. -
I examined this recipe utilizing
Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Chips. These chips are barely bigger than common chocolate chips. In case you use
a smaller chip, use 3 for the facilities as an alternative of two. - When glazing the cookies, place the cookies on a wire cooling rack over a rimmed cookie sheet. This makes for straightforward clean-up, ESPECIALLY if there is a sheet of parchment paper on the cookie sheet!
