1

Add sugar, melted butter, extract, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut to a large bowl and combine with a spoon until all the mixture is wet.

With gloved hands, form small 2 tablespoon-sized balls. The mixture will be slightly sticky, but still formable. If you have time, chilling the mixture for one hour can help ease the stickiness.
