Alright....after reading all the reviews I went ahead and made this...It's pretty good and tasty, but I decided to impart some helpful hints...1) DO NOT over-bake these. They will become hard flying saucers or something out of a spy movie, 2) Wait 2 full minutes before you put the hugs in, otherwise they will get way too melty. If you wait longer than 2 minutes, the cookies get too hard, 3) I personally used silpat silicon liners on my cookie sheets, worked FABULOUSLY 4) Here's the deal with the hugs being so melty...it must be that the white chocolate has a lower melting temp. I had a few extra kisses and used them and they were not nearly as melty as the hugs 5) Keep the cookie HORIZONTAL when transferring it to the cooling rack. If you put it on a slight angle, the hug will get runny!!! 6) I made the cookies for a party tonight and they won't set in time for transporting them, so I put them in the fridge after they'd cooled so they would firm up. Seems not only does the hug melt quicker, takes longer to harden. 7) They will be flat. No way around that. Be sure to only make them 1 tsp though, helps keep the edges from spreading and getting too crisp
Over all, great cookies. Hubby came home and I shoved one in his mouth and he grunted for a full 2 minutes before he told me that he thought it was incredible and then tried to attack the rest. It's a keeper, but with the former ground rules in place. ENJOY!!!
