My grandmas old cookie recipe .....she called them SNOWBALLS.Do you know it? please read description.?

Question

My grandma use to make cookies, the ingredients were coconut, mini marshmellows and grahm crackers.
Not positive about the grahm crackers. They were a rolled up in a ball.

They may not have been baked since the marshmellows were un melted.
I dont know what all held them together. Have you ever made something or know a recipe. I googled it online and have been looking for years.

THEY ARE ROOLED INTO BALLS SO THEY LOOK LIKE SNOWBALLS>ALL WHITE WITH LITTLE PIECES OF GRAHM CRACKER OR PEANUT BUTTER OR SOMETHING.-----NOT A PAN COOKIE.

I have googled it someone would have to know it.

KEEP TRYINg.... still not right,
Again picture coconut and mini marshmellow roled up in a ball.
NOT MELTED, NO NUTS
just something holding them together.
OLD OLD RECIPE.

Good Morning America's Food Editor, Sara Moulton, fires up the oven for the favorite holiday cookies of the editors of Gourmet magazine.

Makes about 30 cookies
Active time: 20 minutes
Start to finish: 1 hour

Ingredients


2 cups sweetened flaked coconut (4 oz)
1 cup finely grated unsweetened coconut (3 oz)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoons water
30 (1/2-inch) squares fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened; from a 3 and
1/2-ounce bar)
About 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
Special equipment: parchment paper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Pulse sweetened and unsweetened coconuts, granulated sugar, and salt together in a food processor until flaked coconut is finely chopped. Add whites and water and pulse until mixture is moistened and holds together when squeezed.

3. Roll level tablespoons of coconut mixture into balls with wet hands (you'll need to rinse your hands every 3 or 4 balls). Make an indentation in center of each ball and insert a piece of chocolate, then pinch hole closed and reroll into a ball. Arrange balls 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined large baking sheet.

4. Bake macaroons in middle of oven until bottoms are golden and balls are puffed but still white, 13 to 15 minutes. Slide macaroons on parchment to a rack to cool completely, then peel off paper.

5. Dust macaroons lightly with confectioners sugar just before serving.

Cooks' note: Macaroons keep in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week.
