Whether you call them kisses or hugs, these cookies show nothing but love when served warm from the oven. They'er typically made with a peanut butter dough, but the ginger and spices in these thumbprints are a fun Christmastime spin on an all-time favorite. —Nancy Zimmerman, Cape May Court House, New Jersey

Ingredients

3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1/2 cup molasses
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup sugar
60 striped chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Directions

Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Gradually beat in egg and molasses. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and spices; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Refrigerate, covered, until firm enough to shape, about 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 350°. Shape dough into sixty 1-in. balls; roll in sugar. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes.
Press a chocolate kiss immediately into the center of each cookie. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
