Chocolate Chip Cookies with Hershey's Kisses
These soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies are a dark chocolate lover’s dream! Instead of regular chocolate chips, we’re using chopped Hershey’s Kisses Special Dark to create melty, chocolatey goodness in every bite. The dough is chilled for extra flavor and texture, and for an extra indulgent touch, you can press a whole Kiss into each cookie after baking. Perfect with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk!
