# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The chocolate stays soft and gooey inside, creating that perfect contrast with the buttery crumb
  • They come together in under thirty minutes, making them ideal for last-minute celebrations
02 -
  • Press the chocolate kisses in right when the cookies come out of the oven, or they will not stick properly
  • If the cookies spread too much, chill the dough balls for 15 minutes before baking
03 -
  • Roll the dough balls generously in sprinkles because some will fall off during baking
  • Work quickly when pressing in the chocolate kisses so the cookies stay warm enough to hold them
