I must apologize in advance for these sinfully delicious cookies… or cookie balls, whatever you’d like to call them. My aunt made these one year for Christmas and I was in heaven. After eating about twenty of them I found out they had three sticks of butter – ah! So now I only make them once or twice a year because they will seriously sit in my fridge and I will just eat them throughout the day.
You will need 1 1/2 cups of butter, 3 cups of oatmeal, 6 oz of chocolate chips, 3 1/3 cups of powdered sugar, 1 1/2 cups of coconut flakes, and 1 tsp. vanilla. See, I told you this was sinful.
All you do is mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl. By hand is the easiest because you are going to have to squish that butter and get it worked in with all of the other ingredients to look like a dough like this:
I love the easiness of decorating these. By far, a little roll around in sanding sugar is the best.
How simple was that?
You could make any color under the sun and color-coordinate with the occasion. I’m warning you though, don’t make these too often. I’m not responsible for any weight gain :)

Hi Sharon, Something must have went wrong. Did you use cold butter and really work it in with your hands with the other ingredients? What about the powdered sugar? Did you use the correct amount?
I only used one cup of butter for this recipie and found they still tasted very buttery. Sanding sugar also refuses to stick to them. Overall very disappointing.
I needed a quick and easy dessert and found this recipe on Six Sisters… I used 1 package of cream cheese and 1 stick of butter and rolled them in crushed graham cracker crumbs. They were delicious!!
