Coconut & Cherry Kisses
Ingredients
- 1 7 oz package shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 cup red candied cherries (and/or green candied cherries), chopped
Instructions
- Pour coconut into a mixing bowl and stir in the cornstarch. Add the sweetened condensed milk and the extracts, stirring until combined. Fold in the chopped cherries.
- Drop about a teaspoon of batter at a time onto a greased or foil-lined cookie sheet. If the batter spreads when you drop it, mound it a little with your fingers.
- Bake for 10 – 12 minutes at 325 degrees, just until the bottoms get lightly browned and the tops are set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool after 1 minute.
Notes
These are not what you’d call “subtle” cookies. They are definitely sweet, but so good!
