Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 147kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1¼ cups sweetened coconut flakes
- ½ cup blanched almond slices
- ½ cup Hershey's Mini Kisses
Instructions
- Cream together butter and sugar using stand or hand mixture until fluffy and sugar is dissolved. Add egg and almond extract and mix just until combined.
- Sift flour and salt. Add to mixer and beat on low until just combined.
- Stir in coconut, almonds and mini kisses.
- Refrigerate batter at least 30 minutes, up to 60.
- Preheat oven to 350° and set racks close to centre position. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and drop onto baking sheet. Press gently (the bottom of a drinking glass works well) to slightly flatten. Continue with remaining dough, leaving enough space for spreading. If required, bake in batches if baking sheets aren't large enough to accommodate all the cookies.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes or until edges are browning and tops are slightly golden.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before carefully moving cookies to a cooling rack.
