Hershey Kiss Cookies

This is the first of a couple things I made this weekend. I hosted an Ugly Sweater party and had to come up with some holiday/international treats! This is one of my successful attempts! And yes that does mean there were some unsuccessful....

I have had these before but I forgot how delicious they are! The kiss in the middle is the perfect amount of chocolate!!
