These macaroon kiss cookies are just perfect with a steaming hot cup of cocoa. What, it’s summer time? How about pairing with a refreshing Pina Colada?

Step 2:

Step 3:
Stir together flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to butter mixture. Stir in 3 cups of coconut.
I like to use Baker’s Coconut.
Step 4:
Cover tightly; refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to handle.
Step 5:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in remaining coconut. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven; immediately press a chocolate kiss on tope of each cookie. Cool 1 minute and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Yum Yum.
