If you like chocolate and coconut, you'll love these cookies! My coworker shared this recipe with me, and says she got it from a Hershey Kisses bag years ago. So good!
Coconut Chocolate Kiss Cookies
Yield: 48 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 package (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar

- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups sweetened coconut flakes, divided

Directions
Beat butter, cream cheese and sugar until well blended. Add egg yolk, almond extract and orange juice; beat well. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in 3 cups coconut.
Cover; refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.
Remove wrappers from chocolates. Heat oven to 350.
