Ames High School Snowball Cookies Recipe

For anyone who went to Ames High School in the 1980s and 1990s, you may recall a very addictive little cookie dusted with powered sugar that we affectionately called the "Snowball" cookie.

Well, you can relive those childhood memories and make your own here!

The recipe for AHS SNOWBALL COOKIES!
Ames High School Food Service Snowball Cookies by Margaret Strasser
1 ½ cups butter
5 ½ cups powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup coconut (I assume sweetened, shredded)
5 cups quick oats
¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp milk
¾ cup chocolate chips
Combine top 5 ingredients and add milk gradually until desired consistency. Fold in chocolate chips. Place on cookie sheet sprinkled with powdered sugar. Then sift more powdered sugar over snowballs. Allow to stand short time to become firm. Freeze. Ground raisins may be used instead of chips. Yield: 3-4 dozen.
Approx. 250 calories if yield is 3 dozen/ 188 calories if yield is 4 dozen.
