How to Make Lemon Coconut Snowballs

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the shredded coconut.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  8. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, generously roll the cookies in powdered sugar.
