Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.75 cups Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Egg whites
- 24 pieces Hershey’s Kisses (unwrapped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sweetened coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. This may take 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the coconut mixture, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined but not overmixed.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the coconut mixture into mounds onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are lightly browned.
While the cookies bake, unwrap your Hershey’s Kisses and set them aside.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie mound while they are still warm.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies have cooled, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
