Sweet and Sensational Coconut Kisses Cookies!

If you love chocolate as much as you love coconut macaroons, these homemade Coconut Kisses may quickly become your new favorite cookie.

Like the more traditional Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies, these recipes create easy-to-make coconut macaroons that you then dress up with a Hershey's chocolate kiss.

We believe that coconut and chocolate is a close rival to peanut butter and chocolate in the taste and flavor department.

Our first recipe has only five ingredients, so these cookies are a snap to make!

The second recipe has a few more ingredients and it too creates a delicately moist coconut cookie.

The best part is they can easily be customized by the type of chocolate kiss you use to decorate them.

Here are some coconut kiss cookie variations you can easily make with different Hershey's Kisses:

  • Milk Chocolate Kisses - for those who love good old-fashioned milk chocolate
  • Milk Chocolate Kisses with Almonds - could result in your own homemade Almond Joy
  • Special Dark Kisses - make your own Mounds
  • Hugs Kisses - for white chocolate lovers
  • Caramel Kisses - a great combination to pair with the coconut macaroon-like cookies
  • Meltaway Center Kisses - for an extra creamy and chocolatey indulgence
  • Air Delight Kisses - for a light and airy chocolate sensation

Testimonials

"I have been researching and trying a number of recipes to make a healthy cookie similar to one that our Gym coffee shop sells for $3.50! This particular recipe was adapted so instead of bars I made thick round cookies and cooked them just underdone so they were soft and chewy. They were a hit with all the girls. Thanks for the great recipe."

Thanks,
