So you are going on vacation in 10 days and you have to wear a bathing suit. I should be cutting carbs and outside running. Instead I am standing in my kitchen stuffing double chocolate chip cookie dough with caramel hershey kisses. Curse this raging sweet tooth of mine. I am always drawn to the holiday version of candies. I bought the Valentine M&Ms and a bag of the caramel hershey kisses. I had no idea what I was going to do with them but, I could not resist. Holiday candies and sprinkles seem to jump into my cart. Valentines day has passed and I still had a bag of kisses. I was thinking of a thumbprint style cookie but, I love gooey caramel so I decided to hide the kiss inside the cookie so it melts into the dough. I had a bit of trouble getting the kiss in the middle of the dough ball but, after various attempts I got the hang of it toward the end. Flouring my hands helped get the dough balls rolled with the kiss in the center. These are soft chocolate cookies with a gooey caramel center.

I have recently disallowed myself from going to target because I can't resist their seasonal candy aisle. So I totally understand. I love the sound the sound of these cookies!
My sweet tooth always rages the worst when I'm trying to be "good" too. It's a terrible predicament! And these cookies look SO good! I just saved them to my favorites. Thanks!
