Coconut Kiss Cookies

This is another version of the original Hershey kiss cookie that I cook at Christmas time. I love them because I love coconut.

3 oz. cream cheese softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tsp. almond extract
2 tsp. orange juice

Stir in 3 cups coconut. Cover and refridgerate 1 hour. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Shape in 1 inch balls and roll in coconut. Cook for 11 min. Place kiss on cookie after pulling from the oven.
