Easy and yummy. My kids loved helping make these - I rolled out the balls and flattened them, and the kids put the kisses in the middle and sealed them up. A fun cookie to make together.

Delicious! One of the best cookies I've had! Yes they can be a bit tedious to make, but it's worth it. I used candy cane kisses in half and hugs in the rest.

I've been making these for years (with a couple slight variations) and they're always a hit. I add 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips to the cookie dough and I use the kisses with an almond in the center. I've never rolled them in sugar after baking, but that sounds good. A real Christmas classic.

These cookies are labor intensive and not all that tasty. Rolling into balls warms the dough up - it is too soft for the next step. So I tried placing them in the fridge. In the end I rolled the dough and cut out circles then wrapped the chocolate.

These are a little time consuming to make but they're yummy!

The prep for this is not 25 minutes. I love the cookies, but don't like to make them for holidays as they take a lot of time and many steps.

I'm going to use caramel kisses!

Gonna make these with the kisses with cherry in the middle, and add red or pink sugar to the powder sugar!! Yummy!!!
