These Hershey Kiss Cookies are my favorite holiday cookies! The fun of the surprise in the middle is great and oh so yummy. We call them Loretta Lynn Cookies and they are going to be a must-make for you!
As I was making them this year, I wondered if I’ve ever told you about it – I have, but it was clear back over 10 years ago (my Signature Cookies) and so it definitely needed a revamp!
Here are some images to pin so you can save this recipe for later!
See, hidden inside is a Hershey’s Kiss – yum!
