Notes
Hershey Kiss Blossom Cookies: place cookie dough ball on baking sheet do not press down, bake for 10-12 minutes. While still warm push an unwrapped Hershey's Hug Candy down into cookie.
Cut out Cookie: after mixing dough together, place on a well floured surface, sprinkle with flour, roll out to 1/4 inch thickness, using cookie cutters cut out shapes, transfer to parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely on baking sheet before transferring. (If dough seems to sticky, place in refrigerator for 30 minute -1 hour before rolling out.
