Coconut Kisses Christmas Cookies

Coconut Kisses Christmas Cookies

If you like coconut, you'll absolutely love these decadent Coconut Kisses Christmas Cookies. Your family and friends will probably be mystified as to how you create that unique crunchy texture in these cookies -- the secret ingredient that produces this texture is cornflakes! Your family will kiss you for baking these cookies!

Ingredients:
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups cornflakes
1 can (3 1/2 ounces) of flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 1-ounce squares semi-sweet chocolate
2 teaspoons shortening

Beat eggs whites and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gradually add in sugar, beat stiff. Mix in cornflakes, coconut and nuts.
Drop from a teaspoon onto a well-greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove cookies immediately. If cookies stick to pan, return to the oven for another minute to soften them.
In a saucepan, melt chocolate and shortening together. Drizzle chocolate topping atop cookies. Makes 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
