16 cookies

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Egg whites, at room temp.
⅛ teaspoon Salt
¾ cup Sugar
½ teaspoon Almond extract
1½ cup Flaked coconut
2 cups Popped popcorn, finely crushed in blender or food processor
1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Unsweetened dry cherry- flavor drink mix (opt)
16 Chocolate candy kisses

Directions

From Orville Redenbacher Popcorn.

Preheat oven to 300'F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.

In medium bowl, beat egg whites with salt until soft peaks form.

Gradually add sugar, beating continuously, until stiff peaks form. By hand, fold in remaining ingredients, except candy kisses, just until all ingredients are moistened.

Drop by rounded tablespoons, 2" apart, on baking sheet. Bake at 300'F. for 7 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and immediately gently press a candy kiss in center of each cookie. Return to oven and bake an additional 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then remove to wire racks to cool. Makes 16 cookies.
