Snowballs!

It’s bitter cold outside in some parts of the country so what better way to celebrate the air of the season than by making these delicious cookies.  Your kids or neighbors kids can help you make them–they are that easy!  No baking!  The snack size also makes them practically guilt free.

I also love putting these cookies on my cooking plate.  Just like the candy cane cookies stand out because of their color,  these tend to add a different texture because of their shape.

Ingredients:

1 c. butter
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
1 lb. plus 3/4 c. 10x sugar, divided
1 c. flaked coconut
1 c. mini chocolate chips
2 c. quick cooking oats, uncooked
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Combine butter, peanut butter, 1 lb. sugar, coconut, chocolate chips, oats and vanilla extract.  Shape mixture into walnut sized balls.  Roll in 3/4 c. powdered sugar.  Store in refrigerator.

Some times I roll them in a combination of powdered sugar and Hershey’s cocoa powder.  Yum!
