Coconut Snowballs

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup finely chopped toasted macadamia nuts
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1. Beat first 3 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk, and beat until smooth. Stir in coconut extract.
2. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating just until blended. Stir in macadamia nuts and lemon zest.
3. Chill dough 30 minutes. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and bake, in batches, at 350u0b0 for 15 minutes or until lightly browned on bottoms. Transfer to wire racks; let cool 2 minutes.
4. Place 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar in a bowl, and toss cookies to coat. Let cookies cool completely on wire racks. Toss in powdered sugar again, coating well.
5. Note: Bake time is per batch.
