Chocolate kiss cookies are a special cookie not only because their butter and chocolate base but the chocolate kiss candy pressed into the cookie when they are hot out of the oven. The chocolate kiss melts and mingles with the cookie creating a fudge like quality. I always make these cookies for my Christmas cookie trays but I do make them occasionally throughout the year when the family is craving chocolate. When I start unwrapping the kisses, smiles light up my family’s faces. .
