Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 2 cups powdered icing sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 3 cups shredded coconut (I used sweetened, but unsweetened would work fine)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla or mint extract
- green food coloring
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp butter or margarine
- 1 tbsp milk
- mini M&Ms
Directions
- 1
In a large pot, melt butter. Remove from heat.
- 2
Stir in icing sugar and milk. Stir in coconut, vanilla/mint and enough food coloring to make the mixture green.
- 3
Shape into small balls, and using the tips of your fingers gently squeeze one side of the ball until it takes on a cone shape. It might take a few tries to get them how you like them, but if the mixture gets too cool to work with you can always heat on low a minute or 2.

If you see any later you want to reshape, they are easily reshaped at room temperature.

In a small pot, melt chocolate, 1 tsp butter and 1 tbsp milk over low heat, stirring, until smooth. Dip the tops of the cookies in the white chocolate to look like snow. Add mini M&M's if desired.
