HERSHEY KISS GINGERBREAD COOKIES – Chewy gingerbread blossom cookies rolled in sugar with chocolate Hershey kiss centers. A holiday favorite no cookie tray should be without!
The cookies are perfectly spiced with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and molasses. All the things that give them the unique snappy flavor we love gingerbread for.
They’re rolled in sugar to give them a crackly coating, a step you definitely don’t want to skip. Not only does it make them look pretty but adds yet another layer of texture that heightens their joy.
Every bite is interesting with a little crunch from the sugar, a lot of soft chewiness and the best part of all the sweet kiss in the middle.
The prize.
