Chocolate Caramel Kiss Cookies

Total Time:25 min

Servings:2 dozen

Test Kitchen Approved

From the Recipe Creator: I make this cookie every Christmas with my family. It’s a fun twist on a classic peanut butter blossom because of the cinnamon in the batter and the caramel kiss on top. We love the cinnamon-caramel combination, but you could switch out the kiss for a different festive flavor. —Kristen Heigl, Staten Island, New York

“This was one of my bakes for my friend’s vintage sale. I only made one substitution—I couldn’t find any caramel stuffed kisses anywhere in town, so I had to get Rolos instead. They taste great!” —Annette Hentz
