How to Make White Chocolate Snowballs

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup light corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for 3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients on low speed, mixing until just combined.
  6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-teaspoon sized balls.
  8. Spread 7 ounces of sweetened flaked coconut on a plate.
  9. Roll each dough ball in the coconut, pressing gently to adhere.
  10. Place the coconut-covered balls onto the prepared baking sheets.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  12. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  13. While cookies cool, melt 12 ounces of white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) a pan of simmering water.
  14. Once cookies are completely cool, turn half of the cookies upside down and spread the flat side with melted white chocolate.
  15. Top with the remaining cookies to create white chocolate-filled snowballs.
