Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. butter softened
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups flaked sweetened coconut

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth again. Stir in the coconut.
  • Place dough in fridge for at least 1 hour (preferably 2) to harden enough so you can roll it into balls.
