These are a traditional Christmas cookie -- but my family and friends LOOOOOOVE them :-)They're very easy to put together, and there's just something incredibly satisfying about squishing that Hershey's Kiss into the hot cookie fresh from the oven!

*This recipe says it makes 4 dozen -- but I got more like 3 dozen.
Yum - a classic holiday fave! I hate when the recipe says you should have X dozen but end up with less!
ReplyDeleteKelly, My Mom and I make these really really small. The cookie hardly peeks out from under the kiss. Mom started doing them small for wedding cookies, and everyone told her they loved having equal-amounts-of-cookie-and-kiss, so we just kept making them small. In turn, you also get a lot more cookies out of the recipe! :)
ReplyDeletep.s.- Same deal with thumb prints, everyone loves them small so there is not lots more cookie than icing.(Russ loves them that way so much he calls other people's huge thumb prints "hand prints" hee! Julie
