Here is a recipe for Kiss Cookies using Hershey’s kisses. But what makes this different, is that this is a nut-free Kiss Cookies recipe without peanut butter.
Quick Easy Dessert – Kiss Cookies without Peanut Butter
The other day I wanted to make some cookies for the kids’ teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. If you know me well, you know I love desserts.
I have a Pinterest board for desserts and another board named Chocolate – My Favorite Pinterest Board. Usually, I make Meringue Cookies because they are easy and quick, but I wasn’t sure how they would hold up in the gift bag. Meringue cookies don’t travel well, especially not in a Ziploc baggie in a gift bag.
I needed a quick, easy dessert, so I decided to make some Hershey’s Kiss cookies.
