Whether you call them kisses or hugs, these cookies show nothing but love when served warm from the oven. Typically made with a peanut butter dough, the ginger and spices in these thumbprints are a fun Christmastime spin on an all-time favorite. -

I'm not a big fan of gingerbread, but I tried these cookies at a friend's house and they were amazing! The chocolate chips really balance out the sweetness of the molasses.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little more spice. I like my gingerbread cookies to have a bit of a kick, but these were a little bland for my taste.

These cookies are so easy to make, even my kids can help. They love rolling the dough into balls and pressing them down with a fork.

I've made these cookies several times now and they're always a favorite. They're chewy and soft, with just the right amount of sweetness. I love that they're not too gingerbread-y, so they're perfect for people who don't like strong spices.
