Just made this tonight with my teenage daughter and we both thought they were good, except when we made the glaze. This was because the measurements for it was way too much for the cookies, and I had more than enough glaze left over to drizzle on another cake I happened to bake earlier. But overall, would definitely make it again!

These were okay, I was looking forward to a soft and chewy cookie and these were sort of dry. I could have baked them too long though. Also, I thought the icing tasted like powdered sugar and couldn't tell I had added raspberry preserves. All in all were good cookies, but just not what I was looking for and will not make again.

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!
