How to Make Almond Joy Macaroons

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a food processor, finely mince 1 1/2 cups (150g) of sweetened shredded coconut.
  4. Transfer the minced coconut to a large bowl. Add the following ingredients: 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (60ml) sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gently mix all ingredients with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
  7. Take 1 tablespoon of chilled dough and shape it around one Hershey's Almond Kiss, ensuring the kiss is completely enclosed.
  8. Place the macaroons 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the macaroons are firm and deep golden brown on the bottom and lightly golden on top.
  10. Let the macaroons cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. For easier handling and to prevent sticking, place the cooled macaroons in mini muffin papers or paper bonbon cups.
