I love these - I add a little orange extract to the dough and use the dark chocolate kisses. One of my Dad's favorite cookies!! Sometimes I refrigerate the dough for an hour or so for easier handling, particularly if I've been baking and the kitchen gets hot.

My kids *loved* these cookies! Our youngest child has a tree nut/peanut allergy, and so I'm on the lookout for new cookie recipes that the kids will all enjoy. This one was a huge hit. I've made them several times now, and they don't last long in our house!

Good but not great....dough was sticky and hard to work with and we followed the directions exactly! The dough seemed like it needed a little more flour or to chill before forming balls.

Scrumptious! Easy, nice presentation, and a big hit at a party. I baked them for 9 min and they were perfect! They stay soft and chewy! If you want your chocolate kisses to melt a lot add them about 7-8 min. out of the oven. I also used a mixture of peanut-butter-chocolate kisses, and dark and truffle chocolate kisses. Delicious!

These were good and fudgy. The first batch in the oven ended up raw in the middle, and I increased baking time to 15 minutes, but my cookies were larger than 1" diameters. I added about 2/3 c. finely chopped pecans and used the caramel-filled Kisses. Very good. Thanks Jeanne.

I followed this recipe exactly, and these turned out perfectly! I made these for Valentine's Day, so I rolled in pink and red sugar, and used solid chocolate hearts and kisses. The secret to puffy cookies around the chocolate pieces is to keep the dough chilled.

This recipe was fantastic! I followed the recipe except I used HUGS Kisses and Milk Chocolate. I also rolled each cookie in sparkly white sugar ... what a great touch! I highly recommend this! Also, these cookies freeze perfectly!

Absolutely fantastic! I used dark chocolate kisses and they were a chocolate lover's dream. I will make these again and share the recipe with friends. I wasn't quite sure if the butter needed to be at room temperature since it didn't specify. I left my butter out on top of the ceramic stove-top while my oven preheated (about 10 minutes). When combined with the sugar it never really got "fluffy". Nonetheless the cookies turned out great.

Wow. These cookies are incredible. They have the most amazing, cookie/brownie consistency and rich taste. This was the first time I'd rolled cookies in sugar, and they came out perfect. Will make again and again!
