Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy (approximately 2 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and almond extract to the mixture and beat until fully combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt together in a separate bowl, then gradually mix it into the butter mixture. Continue mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
Fold in the rainbow sprinkles gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a smooth ball. Repeat until all the dough is used; you should have approximately 24 balls.
Place the shredded coconut in a shallow bowl or plate. Roll each dough ball in the coconut to coat evenly, pressing gently to ensure the coconut adheres.
Transfer the finished snowballs to a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the snowballs to firm up.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
