I made these this weekend as part of my annual Christmas cookie frenzy. They were very easy to make and looked beautiful when finished. These will add a touch of elegance to my christmas cookie tins.

Kelley, I made these last night and they were very easy to make. Your recipe says 36-42 cookies but I got 50 exactly. I would have gotten more if I had made the balls a little smaller. These cookies turned out delicious and looked very elegant when they were finished. Thanks for a great recipe!

Never even thought of "making" the cookie part. the way I learned was to use the store bought frozen or refrigerated peanut butter cookies but the rest is the same. (good for when you don't have time to make them but I like the fully homemade version you gave) Awesome recipe!

Everyone loves them. I made the dough part of the cookie twice the size, and used half the kisses, and people really loved that.

"Nom, nom, nom!" say the nephews...highest praise. Like the easy measurements; just like an old fashioned pound cake. Warning, don't open up the bag of Hershey's kisses until you are ready to bake. They mysteriously disappear and you won't wind up with enough for your cookies.
