Helpful Tips For You!

Keep the Kisses Intact– Unwrap the chocolate kisses before baking to ensure quick placement on the warm cookies without melting them too much.
Don’t Overbake– Take the cookies out when the edges are set but the centers are still soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
Customize Your Kisses– Experiment with different kiss flavors, such as caramel, dark chocolate, or almond, to add a unique twist to the cookies.
