I still had my jumbo sized double pack Nutella from Costco waiting to be devoured and since I pretty much just use it for baking, I decided I had to use it in cookies.

Even without the Hershey’s Kiss, these cookies are marvelous on their own. I actually prefer them that way because I can eat unlimited cookies but only so many Kisses. I realized while watching people eat these (that doesn’t sound creepy at all) that after the first two cookies consumed, people tend to take off the Kiss to eat the next cookie.

Granted, there area always chocolate lovers that will gladly eat the removed Kiss from anyone else’s cookie. To each their own.
