# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The dough comes together in under 15 minutes with ingredients you already have in your pantry
  • They look stunning but taste even better, with that soft buttery texture and warm chocolate center
02 -
  • Don't overbake these cookies, they continue cooking on the hot pan after coming out of the oven
  • The chocolate kisses will melt slightly if pressed into cookies that are too hot, so wait about 30 seconds after removing from the oven
03 -
  • If your kitchen runs warm, chill the dough for 15 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading
  • Work quickly when pressing in the chocolate kisses, as they need that cookie heat to adhere properly
