- - 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
- - 1 tsp vanilla extract
- - 2½ cups shredded coconut
- - 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

- Add sugar and vanilla; mix well.
- Fold in coconut.
- Roll into small oval shapes.
- Roll in cinnamon.

Notes
Add a bit of cocoa powder to tone down cinnamon, or swap cinnamon with cocoa for a “darker skin” effect.
