-
Preheat oven to 325F.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat and set aside.
-
Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, almond extract and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
-
Fold in shredded coconut.
-
Scoop out mixture and form into 1 inch balls. Use wet hands to shape balls, rinsing hands as needed.
-
Place on baking sheet. Using a small measuring spoon or the end of a wooden spoon, press down on the center of the balls to form a small well. It should be just large enough for the kisses later.
-
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or just until golden brown.
-
Remove from oven and immediately press the Hershey kiss into the top of each cookie and let cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to a cooking rack to finish cooling.
-
Store at room temperature, loosely covered, for up to 1 week.
For a less “gooey” macaroon, omit up to 3 tablespoons of the sweetened condensed milk from the recipe. (Makes a great coffee creamer!)
