Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).
- Cream the butter and sugar with the pinch of salt. Add the egg with a little flour and mix well.
- Stir in the milk and add the rest of the flour. Mix to a fairly stiff dough.
- Divide into 16 equal pieces and roll into balls. Place on parchment or silicone sheet lined cookie trays, leaving a bit of space for them to grow. Press down a little.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until very lightly golden brown. Remove from tray and allow to cool completely.
- When cool, sandwich equal sized cookies together with raspberry jam.
- If you are able to leave them for about half an hour, do so as the jam will set making it easier to dip.
- Combine the confectioner's (powdered) sugar with enough water or milk to make a runny glaze in which to dip the snowballs. Have a bowl of shredded coconut ready. Dip the snowballs in the glaze and allow extra glaze to drip off.
- Next, roll in the coconut. Set aside to dry and continue to dip the remaining snowballs.
Notes
- These will keep for about 4 or 5 days in a tin. Perfect for the holidays, but obviously any other time you feel like a coconut-flavored treat!
- Delicious with a cup of tea!
