Tropical Snowball Cookies

I love how these turn out!! They are moist and chewy with the great tropical flavor of oranges and coconut. These add nice variety to a holiday cookie tray when mixed with other cookies that feature chocolate, a variety of nuts, and other shapes. Give these a try – you won’t regret it and you may even discover a new family favorite!
