ALMOND JOY MACAROONS

Almond Joy Macaroons image

I got this from the Cuisine at Home Holiday Cookbook. These are delicious! A moist coconut dough is wrapped around an almond hershey kiss. The cookie is chewy on the outside with a chocolate almond surprise inside. It's almost a cross between a cookie and a candy. Mmmmmm.

Time 1h

Yield 32 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) bag sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup cream of coconut
3 egg whites
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
32 hershey's chocolate kisses with almonds, unwrapped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mince 1 1/2 cups of coconut in a food processor and transfer to a bowl.
Add remaining ingredients, EXCEPT kisses.
Mix gently with your hands until combined.
Chill dough at least 1 hour (but no more than 24).
Shape a heaping tablespoon of dough around a kiss. Make sure it is enclosed completely. (This takes a little practice).
Place 1 inch apart on lined baking sheet.
Bake until firm and deep golden on the bottom and light golden on the top--about 16-18 minutes.
Cool on pan for 5 minutes and transfer to cooling rack.
These are a little sticky so I keep them in mini muffin papers or paper bonbon cups.
