Chocolate Coconut Snowballs
This is such a yummy little cookie and requires absolutely NO baking. I would beg my mother to make Chocolate Coconut Snowballs during the holidays. They were my favorite cookie as a little girl and that hasn’t changed over the years. Coconut topped with dark chocolate, they are one of the best cookies you’ll make this season.
A dollop of dark chocolate on top of a sweet little no-bake ball of coconut makes a delightfully simple holiday cookie. These Chocolate Coconut Snowballs are sure to become a family favorite, as they are in my house.
Chocolate Coconut Snowballs also keep well and can be made weeks ahead of the holidays. Place them in the refrigerator to set the cookies, then store them in airtight containers in a cool place until ready to serve. Everyone needs a tasty no-bake cookie recipe during the holiday season.
What is dried milk?
Dried milk, also known as powdered milk, can be found in the grocery store in the coffee or baking aisle. Adding dried milk to these cookies makes them rich and delicious. Using dried milk is a great way to add the taste of milk, or creaminess, to recipes without adding extra liquid. Use it in baking or stir it into coffee to give it a creamy consistency. Dried milk has a long shelf life and is a versatile ingredient.
