Lime Glazed Coconut Snowballs Recipes

Steps:

• Cookies:.
• In bowl of standing mixer fitted with flat beater, mix flour, lime zest, sugar, and salt on low speed until combined, about 5 seconds. With mixer running on low, add butter 1 piece at a time; continue to mix until mixture looks crumbly and slightly wet, about 1 minute longer. Add vanilla and cream cheese and mix on low until dough just begins to form large clumps, about 30 seconds.
• Use hands to roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake one batch at a time in 375-degree oven until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Glaze:.
• Whisk cream cheese and 2 tablespoons lime juice in medium bowl until combined and no lumps remain. Whisk in confectioners' sugar until smooth, adding remaining lime juice as needed until glaze is thin enough to spread easily.
• Dip tops of cookies into glaze and scrape away excess, then dip into coconut. Set cookies on parchment-lined baking sheet; let stand until glaze dries and sets, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, rind, juice, and vanilla in a medium bowl.
• Add 2/3 cup coconut, and beat at medium speed for 1 minute or until no longer grainy.
• Add sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating until well combined.
• Cover and chill 20 minutes.
• Shape crumb mixture into 24 balls, about 1 teaspoon each.
• Place remaining 1/3 cup coconut in a shallow bowl; roll balls in coconut.
• Refrigerate balls in an airtight container for up to one day.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour and cornstarch in medium bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in lime juice, lime peel, and lime oil. Beat in flour mixture until smooth. Refrigerate dough until just firm, about 45 minutes.
• Using scant 1 tablespoon for each, form dough into balls and place on prepared sheets, spacing 1 inch apart.
• Bake cookies until pale golden on top and browned on bottom, about 23 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to racks; immediately sift generous amount of powdered sugar over cookies. Cool cookies completely on baking sheets. (Can be made ahead. Store airtight at room temperature up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 weeks. Dust with more powdered sugar before serving.)
