Irish Potatoes

My favorite St. Patty's Day treat... I have to promise myself to only make them once a year and only one batch at that since they are so deadly and delicious! This recipe makes around 3 dozen depending on the size of each potato.

1/4 c/ (1/2 stick) softened butter
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. box 10x (powdered) sugar
1 (7 oz) bag flaked coconut
Ground cinnamon

1. Cream butter and cream cheese. Beat in the vanilla and 10x sugar.
2. Stir in coconut. Sometimes it helps to mix it in with your hands because the mixture can be very sticky.
3. Roll into balls the size of a walnut.
   
4. Roll in cinnamon and refrigerate until firm.

Happy St. Patty's Day (a day late)! I hope you enjoy. I like these best right out of the fridge, so I keep the whole stash in the fridge and just grab one or two at the time. Believe me, that's all you need to satisfy you sweet tooth!
Also, when rolling this into balls, the mixture is extremely sticky, so I like to put the mixture in the fridge for a bit before I start rolling them, it helps make the shape with the minimal amount of fuss.
