What is the name of the cookies with the Hershey kiss in the middle?

Question

An easy recipe please!! Don't have much time.

Answer 1

We've always called them thumbprint cookies too, but I stongly suggest not using sugar cookie dough. I did that one year and they were awful. Couldn't bite into them. And it wasn't just one batch.

Mom always used a peanut butter cookie recipe, then push your thumb in, and set in the hershey kiss.... hence the thumbprint name.

This recipe is basically like mom's, but she never used the caramel or cream. The chocolate will melt then cool, gluing itself to the cookie. But the caramel doesn't sound half bad.... If I actually liked peanut butter, I'd try it. But I outgrew peanut butter cookies awhile ago (which is why I have the bad sugar cookie experience with this one.)


Original recipe yield:
2 1/2 to 3 dozen cookies


INGREDIENTS
1 cup butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
20 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
1/4 cup light cream
30 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
DIRECTIONS
Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and mix well. Mix in the flour then knead in the finely chopped walnuts. Cover and chill dough for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Roll chilled dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Make a thumbprint in the middle of each cookie.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes.
In a small pan over medium heat melt the caramels and the light cream together. Stir until smooth. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon o the caramel into the thumbprint of each warm cookie then top with a chocolate kiss.

Answer 2

I am sorry...everyone is wrong
they are p-nut butter blossom cookies....

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups peanut butter
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 ounces Hershey chocolate kisses


Thoroughly cream butter and sugars; add eggs and vanilla. Stir in peanut butter. Sift dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture. Refrigerate cookie dough for 2 hours.

Form into round balls. Roll in granulated sugar and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Immediately after removing from oven, place a Hershey Kiss in the center of each cookie. This is a real favorite of my grandchildren.

Answer 3

We always called them thumbprint cookies, but I think that's probably wrong.

If you want to whip some up quick, it's just a basic sugar cookie dough, homemade or store bought, Roll it up into a ball, put it on the cookie sheet, and press your thumb into it to make a dent in the middle, then pop in a kiss and bake it.

You can also put jam in the center, that's very good, too.

Answer 6

When I first had a recipe for them, and made them, they were called "Thumb Prints". What you do is, you gently press the Hershey Kisses on the middle. I'll have to get back to you, tomorrow with the recipe. Or you can email me for it, (I'll be on line around noon pacific time) at [e-mail]. But here's one I that's similar (the difference is mine doesn't take acaramel, or pecans):


Caramel KISSES Thumbprint Cookies

Ingredients:
. 72 HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Caramel Filled Milk Chocolates
. 1 family size (13x9-in. pan) original supreme brownie mix with HERSHEY'S Syrup Pouch
. 1/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
. 2 eggs
. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
. 1 tablespoon water
. 1 cup ground pecans(optional)
. 2-1/2 teaspoons milk

Directions:
1. Remove wrappers from chocolates. Lightly grease cookie sheets.

2. Beat brownie mix, pouch of syrup, cocoa, eggs, oil and water in medium bowl until well blended. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until thoroughly chilled (dough will still be sticky).

3. Heat oven to 350 F. Shape dough into 48 1-inch balls. (Return dough to refrigerator if necessary or drop by rounded teaspoons onto wax paper-lined trays and refrigerate about 10 minutes.) Roll balls in pecans, if desired. Place on prepared cookie sheet; press thumb gently in center of each cookie. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until set. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

4. Place 24 caramel filled chocolates and milk in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 30 seconds; stir. If necessary microwave at HIGH an additional 10 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chocolates are melted and smooth when stirred. Put about 1/2 teaspoon caramel filling in each indentation. Lightly press chocolate on caramel. 48 cookies.
