Candy Cane Hershey Kiss Cookies {Christmas Cookies}

When I posted the recipe for the Mint Kiss Cookie Cups, I told you I had another recipe using the candy cane Hershey kisses. I experimented several times before I came up with this recipe. As soon as I took a bite, I knew I had finally found the winning cookie recipe. They have chopped up Hershey candy cane kisses as well as chocolate chips inside. And the tops are drizzled with more of the kisses. They are so darn yummy, especially if you love chocolate and mint together. And if you don't–what's wrong with you?!? Just joking.

I am totally going to have to stock up on the candy cane kisses so I can make these all year long. They'd be pretty for Valentine's day too, don't you think?
