  • ⅓ cup light corn syrup (such as Karo®)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup ground cinnamon, or as needed

    • Directions

    Place softened butter in a large bowl. Add confectioners’ sugar, coconut, corn syrup, and vanilla extract; mix using your hands until combined. Knead until it holds together but is not too sticky, adding more sugar and coconut, if needed.

    Place cinnamon on a plate. Form the mixture into small, round balls and roll in the cinnamon until coated and they look like tiny potatoes.

    • Cook's Note:

    The same filling can be used for coconut Easter eggs. Just shape into eggs and dip into melted chocolate.
