1. **Traditional Kiss Cookies**: The classic recipe that started it all, these cookies boast a perfect balance of chocolate and vanilla flavors. Made with simple ingredients like butter, sugar, flour, and eggs, these cookies are elevated to new heights with the addition of Hershey's Kisses, creating a harmonious union of flavors and textures.

2. **Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies**: For peanut butter lovers, this variation adds a delightful twist to the traditional recipe. Creamy peanut butter is incorporated into the cookie dough, resulting in a rich and nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the Hershey's Kisses. These cookies offer a delightful combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and a hint of salt, making them irresistible to those with a sweet tooth.

The combination of almond flour and tapioca flour provides a slightly denser yet chewy texture, while the Hershey's Kisses add the signature touch of sweetness and chocolate.

Each recipe is meticulously explained with step-by-step instructions, ensuring that bakers of all skill levels can achieve perfect results. Whether you prefer the traditional chocolate and vanilla combination, the rich peanut butter flavor, or the gluten-free alternative, these Kiss Cookies guarantee a delightful treat that will be cherished by friends and family alike.

CHERRY CHOCOLATE KISS COOKIES - VALENTINE KISSES



Cherry Chocolate Kiss Cookies - Valentine Kisses image

These cookies are similar to Peanut Butter Blossoms, but are cherry cookies instead of peanut butter. I like to make them for Valentine's Day-- and call them Valentine Kisses. There are many variations-- you can use make the dough and use white or semi-sweet chocolate chips or use mini-kisses for smaller bite size cookies. The dough can be rolled in plain sugar, or red decorator sugar for an extra festive look.

Provided by CFS Momma

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h14m

Yield 24-36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cherry juice
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2-3/4 cup chopped or crushed maraschino cherry
1 cup granulated or decorator sugar (as needed)
12 ounces Hershey chocolate kisses (1 per cookie) or 12 ounces Hershey's Hugs chocolates (1 per cookie)

Steps:

  • Beat butter, add sugar and salt. Beat in cherry liquid and almond extract. Beat in flour. Fold in cherries.
  • Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes (you don't have to, but dough is easier to work with when cold).
  • Roll dough into balls, coat in sugar and place on cookie sheet. These cookies will flatten on their own, but I typically put a thumb print in the center to flatten some.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 14 minutes. Let cool on pan for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add Hershey Kiss/Hug to center of the cookies. (Hugs melt especially fast, you may want to let the cookies cool a little longer before adding Hugs, but cookies should still be warm so chocolate can melt into the cookie).
  • Transfer to wire rack to cool.

  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and texture.
