Notes
How To Tell If Your Peanut Butter Cookies Are Done:
- Your cookies will be light brown in color.
- The Hershey Kiss shape will still be intact. (Try freezing your chocolate kisses in advance, to help minimize them melting while the cookies are baking.)
- Look for small cracks in the finished cookies (see photo below)
- Your cookies will still be soft... but not moist!
