Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 180 grams Sweetened shredded coconut
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the powdered sugar (120 grams) and vanilla extract to the creamed butter. Beat well until the mixture is light and creamy.
Gradually add the shredded coconut and all-purpose flour to the mixture. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is well combined and forms a thick dough.
Using clean hands, take about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a smooth ball. Repeat until all the dough is shaped into balls. You should have approximately 20 balls.
Place the powdered sugar (60 grams) for coating in a shallow bowl. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
Arrange the finished Coconut Butterballs on a serving plate. For best results, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow them to firm up slightly before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
