Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 6 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup Wilton Royal blue chocolate melts
  • 1 jar maraschino cherries - drained and patted dry

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and coconut. Stir until well mixed.
  • Add both extracts and stir again until well blended.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk and with a rubber spatula, mix well to incorporate.
  • Drop 2 inch rounded, heaping spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
  • Spray the bottom of a drinking glass with non stick spray and use it to flatten the cookies ever so slightly.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden in color and the coconut is lightly toasted.
  • Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
  • Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and set aside.
  • In a double boiler, melt the blue chocolate candies by stirring until completely melted.
  • Pour the melted chocolate into a shallow dish and dip the bottom of each cookie into the mixture. Place on the cookie sheet to allow the chocolate to harden.
  • Using your index finger, gently press down into the center of each cookie. Dab a small amount of melted chocolate onto the bottom of each cherry and place into the hollowed center.
  • ENJOY!!

One of my favorite cookies is a coconut macaroon. I love the light crunch of the coconut that toasts on the outside while keeping soft on the inside. And I love coconut, I could eat it all day! These Cherry Bomb Macaroons are perfection for Memorial Day or 4th of July – OR you can use any color chocolate to make them your own fun style! They are incredibly easy to make too!
