Kissable Cookies

My Birthday was Friday and when I went into work I was surprised with a cake, flowers, balloons, donuts, and Hershey’s Kissables candy… have I mentioned how amazing my co-workers are? I really do look forward to seeing them everyday; they are beautiful people inside and out!! Ok-ok, before I get sappy and cry about how much I love my job… on to the cookies. I wanted to thank my co-workers so I used the Hershey’s Kissables candies to make cookies to take in to work today. The cookies were a hit; even the FedEx guy took two, lol!!

Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups Hershey’s Kissables (candy coated Hershey’s Kisses)

Directions
In a large mixing bowl stir together the dry ingredients… flour, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until everything is mixed. With an electric mixer beat in the butter, vanilla extract, and eggs until creamy. Stir in the kissable candies. Drop rounded tablespoon onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Store cookies in a sealed plastic bag with a slice of bread… the bread will keep the cookies moist and delicious, very important!
