Almond Joy Macaroons image

I got this from the Cuisine at Home Holiday Cookbook. These are delicious! A moist coconut dough is wrapped around an almond hershey kiss. The cookie is chewy on the outside with a chocolate almond surprise inside. It's almost a cross between a cookie and a candy. Mmmmmm.

Time 1h

Yield 32 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (14 ounce) bag sweetened flaked coconut
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup cream of coconut
3 egg whites
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
32 hershey's chocolate kisses with almonds, unwrapped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mince 1 1/2 cups of coconut in a food processor and transfer to a bowl.
  • Add remaining ingredients, EXCEPT kisses.
  • Mix gently with your hands until combined.
  • Chill dough at least 1 hour (but no more than 24).
  • Shape a heaping tablespoon of dough around a kiss. Make sure it is enclosed completely. (This takes a little practice).
  • Place 1 inch apart on lined baking sheet.
  • Bake until firm and deep golden on the bottom and light golden on the top--about 16-18 minutes.
  • Cool on pan for 5 minutes and transfer to cooling rack.
  • These are a little sticky so I keep them in mini muffin papers or paper bonbon cups.

These macaroons are the perfect combination of chewy and crunchy. They're also very flavorful, thanks to the almond and coconut.

These macaroons are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by half.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed these macaroons. The almond flavor is strong and the chocolate ganache is delicious.

These macaroons are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're worth the effort. They're so delicious and they always impress my guests.

These macaroons are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after I make a cake or cookies, and these macaroons are a great way to use them up.

I wasn't a fan of the chocolate ganache. I think these macaroons would be better with a simple glaze.

I love the chocolate ganache on top of these macaroons. It adds a rich and decadent flavor.

These macaroons are the perfect size for a snack or dessert. They're also very portable, so they're great for taking on picnics or road trips.

The macaroons were a little dry. I think I would add an extra egg white to the recipe next time.

I had a hard time finding unsweetened coconut flakes. I ended up using sweetened coconut flakes and the macaroons were too sweet.

I love that these macaroons are gluten-free. They're a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities.
