This is an answer to Jeanne. I'm not entirely sure why your kisses are falling off the cookies, but I'll venture a guess. I looked up this recipe because I lost my mother's copy. The one thing I see that is different between this one and what I remember of hers is that hers said that after you put the kisses on the tops and press down, you have to return the whole cookie sheet to the oven for 2 more minutes. I think this causes the kisses to melt into the cookie better. If this makes your cookies too dark, try cutting back on the original baking time a bit. Hope this helps. Molly

My favorite Christmas cookie! Question though... Why do you think my chocolate kisses fall off the cookies after they've cooled. I put them on as soon a s they come out of the oven and I press them in. Any thoughts? Merry Christmas!

Peanut Butter Cookies do not get any better than this! Geeeezzoo! These are fantastic! I've been making these for years. Made a batch 2 days ago, and hubby was mad they were all eaten before he could get anymore, and he does not care for cookies or desserts. Used crunchy peanut butter, and also used regular Kisses on half, other half used Kisses With Almonds. Outstanding. Anyone who has ever tried them has not been disappointed.

These cookies are a childhood (and adulthood) favorite of mine not just because they are delicious but because I grew up across the street from the daughter-in-law of the creator of this recipe. Mrs. Smith was my second mom and she learned from the best!
