How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 2

Combine all cookie ingredients except flour and jelly beans in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Stir in flour until well mixed.
STEP 3

Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 jelly bean in center of each ball making sure candy is covered with dough. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.
STEP 4

Combine powdered sugar and enough milk for desired glazing consistency in bowl; stir until smooth. Tint coconut with food color, if desired. Dip tops of cookies in glaze; sprinkle with coconut.

Tip #1

To tint coconut, divide coconut evenly among desired number of small bowls. Add 1 to 2 drops of one food color to each bowl. Mix with fork until color is evenly distributed.
