My daughter made these for santa. I didn't have the hershey kisses, so I just mixed milk chocolate chips in the dough.

How could this recipe be anything other than great. I mean really, P.B. and chocolate? A total classic. This version did not disappoint in any way. I baked for 7 mins as my oven runs a touch hot. The came out nicely baked and firm enough to hold shape but were soft and yummy. Made for Sweet December Event.

Oh so good!!! I made these exactly as written, with the exception of using real butter. I cooked mine for 10 minutes and they were just how we like them, a little crisp on the outside and softer inside. I also used the mini Hershey Kisses that you don't have to take the wrappers off. Thanks for sharing the recipe Lynn!! Made for Sweet December event.

These are so good! Baked 9 minutes- and they were like chewy cookies more than hard dry cookies. These were enjoyed by all ages. Thank you- made for Snow Queen edition of Comfort Cafe, Jan. 2010.
