These cookies are chewy and peanut buttery and delicious. You can use a Hershey's chocolate kiss in the middle or a Brach's Chocolate Stars. I like the stars because they come in milk or DARK chocolate and as far as I'm concerned, the darker the better when it comes to chocolate. We love these not only at Christmas but any time of the year.

Mmm...I love these kind of cookies. Yum! You haven't blogged in a long time and I wondered if you were ok. So glad you're back. :-)
These are my favorites! I also prefer stars rather than kisses.
