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.
Kiss Cookies without Peanut Butter
One year, 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.

On the Hershey’s Kisses bag there’s a recipe for Kiss Cookies, but that recipe had peanut butter. Some of the kids in one of the classes have peanut allergies. I was not sure about the other class.
I searched the internet, combined a few recipes, and came up with my own version of this recipe without peanut butter.
