Ingredients
- 14 ounce sweetened flaked (shredded) coconut
- ¾ cup +2 Tablespoons sweetened condensed milk see notes
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 36 Hershey Kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine shredded coconut with vanilla extract and condensed milk. Set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl of a stand electric mixer, using the whisk attachment, beat egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form.
- Add the egg whites to the coconut mixture and fold everything together gently until combined.
- Using a 1 or 2 Tablespoon cookie scoop, spoon mounds of cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet (about 1-inch apart). Use a spoon to make sure all the stray coconut stays in the mound.
- Bake cookies for 21-23 minutes, until the tops and edges have turned golden brown. Remove and immediately press an unwrapped Hershey Kiss into the top of the cookie. Press down gently.
- Allow cookies to cool on pan for several minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- This recipe doesn't use an entire 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk. Refrigerate the extra and use in coffee or hot cocoa!
- After scooping cookies onto baking sheet, gather up any stray pieces of coconut and press them into cookie. If left on cookie sheet they will burn.
- Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Freeze cookies after cooling in a freezer safe ziploc bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw on counter overnight.
