Chokladbollar - Swedish Chocolate Balls

Ingredients

Butter

1/2 cup, softened

Granulated sugar

1/2 cup

Cocoa powder

1/4 cup, unsweetened

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Quick oats

1 1/2 cups

Shredded coconut

1/2 cup

Instructions

1. Start by creaming together the softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.
2. Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until these ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Gradually add the quick oats to the mixture, stirring consistently. Follow this with the shredded coconut, ensuring everything is evenly distributed in the dough.
4. Take small amounts of the mixture and roll into 1 inch diameter balls using your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, try dampening your hands with a little water.
5. Arrange the rolled balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between each one to prevent them from sticking together.
6. Refrigerate the chokladbollar for at least 1 hour, or until they firm up. This resting period is crucial to allow them to set properly.
7. Serve your chokladbollar chilled. They are best enjoyed with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.
