Name: Chocolate Caramel Kiss Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: about 2 dozen.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, softened; 1/2 cup packed brown sugar; 1 cup sugar, divided; 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk, room temperature; 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour; 3/4 cup baking cocoa; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 24 caramel-filled milk chocolate kisses

I make this cookie every Christmas with my family. It’s a fun twist on a classic peanut butter blossom because of the cinnamon in the batter and the caramel kiss on top. We love the cinnamon-caramel combination, but you could switch out the kiss with a different festive flavor. —Kristen Heigl, Staten Island, New York

These chocolaty cookies are wonderful! I rolled the dough into smaller balls to make 4 dozen cookies instead of 2 dozen, which worked perfectly. A new favorite and something I'll definitely make again!

These cookies are scrumptious! I Leland a dairy-free life (not by choice) so I used a butter substitute. I also left out the cinnamon and the Kisses. So yummy!

I made 9 dozen for Christmas cookies at work, and everyone loved them. They are very chewy and chocolatey.
