I know, another Pumpkin recipe!! I can’t stop baking with pumpkin right now and I must say that I am loving every minute of it. The way the house smells is enough to motivate me to bake all the time 🙂 Cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger are probably my favorite beautiful smells coming from the oven, yum!
Here is a fun, simple cookie with lots of spunk. I am such a sucker every time I pass those Holiday kisses, my hands uncontrollably pick them up and put them in my cart. So to use up my favorite holiday kisses, I created this fun and oh so tasty cookie that you are going to love.
Take a peek and happy Fall baking!
Here’s your line-up. Don’t mind that I forgot the 2 eggs for the photo shoot. Was having a blonde moment!
Cream your butter and sugars, add you eggs, vanilla and pumpkin then toss in the dry ingredients 🙂
I just liked this picture 🙂 I need a wall of just my kitchen aid shots!
You know these bad boys. Unwrap 35 or so 🙂
Love these!
Quarter each little kiss.
Toss in your tasty chocolate chunks….
Along with those kisses!
Break out your muffin top pan, scoop in your dough, press down and bake! (you can also use a normal baking sheet and make tradition cookies with a cookie scoop with this recipe, both delish)

Have a great week and weekend, see you soon!
Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
I haven’t seen these pumpkin kisses yet. I’ll have to keep an eye out for them in the grocery store. I love how they melted into the cookie dough.
I just made a treat with these kisses, aren’t they great for baking! Love your cookies!
Thank you for sharing the recipe. I couldn’t find that kind of Hershey Kisses so I just resorted to the regular Kisses w/ Almonds. I’m sure it’s not as good as yours but it worked out alright. I’m giving some to my MIL for her birthday tomorrow..thanks again!
Now I need to find some of those kisses- those cookies look great!
These look like they would be right up my alley. I’m gonna make them tomorrow. I got my pumpkin kisses at Target. I’m loving the pumpkin and candy corn kisses (candy corn’s my favorite)!
~Thanks for your awesome recipes!
…Also, it’s because of you that I got my muffin top pan and Hershey kisses. 😉
These look amazing. I love pumpkin and definitely need to try adding some chocolate and kisses to some recipes!
I would love to try those kisses – and the whole recipe for that matter!
Those look divine! I’ve not heard of these kisses before, so I’m on a mission to Target after work! Thanks for sharing!
The first year that pumpkin spice kisses came out, I nearly died. Thought I’d gone to heaven! (and seriously, who thought THAT would happen?) I immediately turned them into cookies, making oatmeal cranberry and pumpkin spice kiss cookies. I like what you’ve done here, but I would totally swap the chocolate chunks for white chocolate chunks. I just can’t seem to wrap my palate around milk chocolate and pumpkin. LOVE the idea though!
Those pumpkin kisses look delicious! Now I’m going to have to go to the store and find them (unfortunately there is no target around where I live!)
Nevermind…I’m a dork & misread. 1 Cup of pumpkin (from the can).
I haven’t seen these kisses around! I’m on the hunt for them now. They sound amazing, especially in these cookies!
A can of pumpkin? What size can???
You got me. Totally.
Pumpkin kisses?? I’ve never heard of this and may have to go on a hunt now. These look amazing. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Whoa, didn’t even know pumpkin kisses existed! Oh, those sound delicious.
Man, I want a candy apple red kitchenaid mixer!! I have yet to buy these pumpkin kisses this year. This looks like a good way to use ’em up!
These look super fabulous! I have never seen those pumpkin kisses, now I will have to look for them!
i wish we could find those kisses around here.
and keep the pumpkin coming–i have yet to make anything! i think i did a lot last year and have no will this year.
Love the pumpkin kisses – this is another keeper, Jenny!
I love those pumpkin spice kisses! What a great idea from Hershey’s. These cookies sound great.
I so want to make these but I still can’t find those Pumpkin kisses! They look amazing!
Hey Jenny, I almost bought the muffin top pan yesterday when I was at the restaurant supply place…..it was only $14 and I am kicking myself for not getting now that you posted this yummy recipe. I don’t know how you stay so thin…your recipes are so sinful!! LOL
If I could only find the Pumpkin kisses! These cookies look amazing!!! Yum!
Are you kidding me? These look amazing and where do I find these pumpkin kisses at??? I’ve never heard of it before. I am going to make these if I find the chocolate, YUMMMMY! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jenifer,
I always find mine at Target. Hope you can pick some up!!
Love these Jenny! I have some of the Pumpkin Spice Kisses in my cabinet right now and was trying to come up with some ideas to use them. These look delicious!
And you can never have too many pumpkin recipes. 🙂
Oh my word. I have never seen the kisses. They look delicious, I want to try them. The cookies look great too! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I love pumpkin anything. These look delish!
My new grocery store mission: find pumpkin kisses!!
AWESOME sounding recipe!
Pumpkin and chocolate? Yes, please! Those look so good and different from the everyday chocolate chip cookie that I’m definitely picking up ingredients today! Thanks for posting this!
Two things I have never seen before now: Pumpkin kiss Hershey’s and Muffin Top pans!
I’ve also never seen Muffin Top pans.. how neat though. I will have to be on the look out for one!
I’m loving these Jenny! I can’t resist those kisses either. I have been hoarding the carmel corn ones.
Those are coming soon in a fun recipe 🙂
Oooh, I can’t wait for that recipe! This one looks so yummy!
i haven’t seen the pumpkin kisses yet but what a great way to use them!!!
Oh my goodness I didn’t even know Pumpkin Spice Kisses existed, but I will be out looking for them today. What a great addition to so many recipes. Thanks for sharing!
I couldn’t find the pumpkin kisses last year, and I still can’t find them this year! I need to find them!
oh no! I almost wish I hadn’t seen this. I had no idea that Hershey’s made Pumpkin Kisses! I have to get a back immediately if not sooner.
Tabitha, I find mine at Target, hope you can round some up, they are delish!
