In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese. Add the vanilla and confectioners sugar and beat until the mixture forms a ball. With a spoon, stir in the coconut. Roll the mixture between your hands to form small potato-shaped candies, or roll into small balls. Place the cinnamon in a shallow dish. Roll the balls in the cinnamon, then place on a cookie sheet, cover, and chill for about 1 hour, until firm. |
