I just started making these cookies a few years ago - I found the recipe on Betty Crocker's website, altered it a little bit, and fell in love with these! They're awesome and adorable when you use Hershey's Hugs, but they also taste amazing with Andes mints in the center instead. These also keep quite well, but if you do some with Hugs and some with Andes, make sure to store them in separate containers to avoid contamination!

Those sound good and I'm looking for new ones to tryout that aren't peanut butter. The dudes LOVE those pb ones with the big kiss on top, but now that we are a peanut free family those have got to hit the road. Thanks for sharing.
