Cookies were good. Especially straight out of the oven. Our kids liked them and enjoyed the different flavored kisses we tried with the dough. I prepared the recipe as it was written. No changes. A little dry the next day, which I was hoping they would still be a little chewy. Would try again!

Easily one of my favorite cookies! I followed the recipe exactly, only halved everything because I didn't have enough butter. I also baked for 8 minutes, then added the kisses and baked another 2 minutes. I just scooped balls of the dough and didn't bother with rolling the dough. This recipe is SO easy and absolutely delicious!!

My family loves this recipe! We've been making for Christmas for years--for ourselves and as gifts for the neighbors. It's always well received. It's fun for the kids to help by unwrapping the kisses and placing them in the cookies (under the watchful eye of an adult--the cookies and pan are hot!). Thanks for a great recipe that has become a standard in our family!

These cookies are nice to look at, and my 9 year old liked them but for me they seemed to be lacking something. Maybe some type of nut instead of the chocolate - not sure.

Huge hit with the engineers where DBF works. I dropped the dough by cookie scoop into cupcake papers (so people could handle them more easily) and used Hershey's cherry cordial kisses. My yield was 30 cookies.

fantastic recipe! I loved the suggestion to use mint kisses, but wasn't able to find any. To avoid having to go to another store, I decided to get miniature mint patties to use instead of the kisses. The texture and taste was fantsastic! I nearly ate them all myself.

This is a keeper. I used the candy cane kisses to make them more "christmas-y" and because I think they may be a little too rich with regular chocolate kisses. The dough is definitely easier to work with when refrigerated, even if only for 20 or 30 minutes. Thanks for a great recipe! I've received many compliments.

These were great. We added a teaspoon of orange extract, and they tasted like the chocolate orange candy. The only issue: maybe decrease the soda a tad, or decrease the bake time; they were a little too crispy for us.

FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!! TEN STARS! I did not change a thing and they are amazing!!! The dough makes a lot of cookies, the dough balls can be pretty small because they grow when you bake 'em.

These super-chocolatey cookies came out beautifully! I intended to make just a half-batch, but by the time I finished mixing everything, I realized that I forgot to halve the butter (the batter also told me that it wasn't looking right :P), so I corrected it & ended up making the whole batch. I now have 78 of these yummy, lovely, brownie-like cookies waiting to attach themselves to my hips. :) I made the dough balls smaller (about 3/4" diameter) and they look perfect! Thanks for this awesome recipe! My chocolate tooth thanks you! :)
