Hershey's Kisses Macaroon Cookies


Have I told you that I love coconut?  Huge fan and lover of all things coconut. So when I originally saw a picture of these on the back of a Hershey Kiss bag I knew these had to be created.  I loved the idea, but not the recipe.  So I changed it up a bit and came up with this.  Let me be the first to tell you...Fabulous!  The cookie is so soft and moist and topped with the chocolate kiss.  Hello y'all!  Just a perfect combo. 

Hershey's Kisses Macaroon Cookies

Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter or magarine, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 cups sweetened coconut flakes, divided
about 36 Hershey's Kisses

Directions:
1. Beat butter, sour cream and sugar in large bowl until well blended.  Add egg yolk and vanilla.  Beat well.  Stir together flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended.  Stir in 3 cups coconut. 
2.  Cover, refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.  Remove wrappers from chocolate kisses.  Heat oven to 350.  Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll balls in remaining 2 cups coconut.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet. 
3.  Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove from oven; immediately press a chocolate kiss on top of each cookie.  Cool 1 minute; carefully remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.  Cool completely.  Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
