1/3 cup butter (softened)
3 oz. cream cheese (softened)
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 ½ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
5 cups coconut (divided)
48 kisses (dark chocolate)
Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar together until light
and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and
extract. Combine flour, baking powder,
and salt. Add gradually to creamed
mixture. Stir in 3 cups of the coconut.
Refrigerate dough 1 hour or until dough is easy to
handle (if desired, I didn't find this to be necessary). Shape in 1” balls or use a small cookie scoop and then roll
in coconut. Place 2” apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes (or until lightly
browned.)
Remove from oven and push a kiss into each cookie. Allow cookies to sit on cookie sheet 2-5
minutes until chocolate is soft.
Transfer cookies to cooling racks.
