This one was great for the baby shower I just made them for. It was for a girl, so pink was perfect. They were very popular. I drizzled the icing into flower petals around the chocolate. I think I might try blueberry preserves for a boy shower...

People don't expect the almond and raspberry flavor in a kiss cookie, but they adore them after one bite. One of the best recipes here!
