Who would have thought my crazy idea of stuffing a giant Hershey Kiss inside of my cookie dough would turn out so fabulous! I totally expected the kiss to still be a kiss inside, but it turned into what I like to call a chocolate molten cookie. The chocolate oozed out like a dream!
Now…. I swiped the giant Kiss from my mom’s house over Christmas Break but I am assuming with Valentines Day right around the corner that you can still find these giant kisses at your local drug stores, grocery stores, Targets etc… I have spotted them specifically in Walgreens.
Alright enough talking for me, let’s take a look!
First things first. The dough I used was chilled overnight. I suggest doing the same so the cookie holds it’s shape around the kiss 🙂 My Kiss box is beat up because I swiped it straight from my mom’s, into my suitcase 🙂 Thanks Mona!!
It’s kinda hard to see how big the kiss really is, so I had my little guy go grab a Lego dude. Gives you a better idea. I’d say it’s about 2 1/2 inches tall.
Love!
Here we go….cookie dough on the bottom….
Cookie Dough around sides and top.
Seal it up ever so gently and time to bake!
Perfection! See the tip of the Kiss? So fun.
Had I waited for the cookie to cool completely I kinda think the kiss would have held it’s shape, however who cares when you have this fabulous milk chocolate running out?! I only made one giant cookie, but am assuming you could get about 12 giant cookies. You could use the regular kisses for a smaller, equally as adorable cookie 🙂 Enjoy!

Have a great week, come back soon!
Do you think it would work with peanut butter cookie dough then rolled in sugar? Inside out peanut butter blossom!!
Hurrah! In the end I got a weblog from where I can in fact
get useful information concerning my study and knowledge.
When you say adjust the cooking time for regular-kisses, which direction do you mean: more, or less? Sorry. Looking forward to making these, and want to make sure I get it right!
Sorry, regular-sized kisses
hey, i was just wondering. how many days can these cookies be stored for?
Woah, this looks like the biggest chocolate-cookie-chocolate-flash I have ever seen!
Can i use Regular salt and not Kosher salt?
OMG, this looks unbelievable!!! I’m wondering if you can get the same effect with smaller candy kisses?
Found your website from Recipe Girl on Pinterest. Love it!
Oh my goodness! That looks absolutely amazing and fairly easy! I’m gonna have to try it:)
Wow this looks amazing! Looks so chocolatey I can almost taste it!
As if a chocolate chip cookie could get any better, it’s now oozing chocolate – – I’m in heaven!!
Time to go to Walgreens! I love ALL your cookie creations! 🙂
I love molten chocolate cake, but this just takes things to a whole other level!
Ohh wow these look absolutely amazing!! Sinfully delicious, love it 🙂
I made mini ones, but my kiss didn’t get gooey…. I don’t know what went wrong.
this is simply heaven, such a great dessert/treat/meal? I want to make them!
You are the coolest mom ever!! What a fun dessert!
Oh my, these seriously look like a piece of died-and-gone-to-heaven!
I usually decorate sugar cookies, but to eat, my fave kind is chocolate chip… *This* is definitely a version I’m trying next.
I’m going to be sharing your Hearty Turkey Chili recipe on my blog tomorrow! I love your recipe it is so healthy and delicious!
Wow, those look evil and decadent at the same time. Just as cookies should 🙂
I can’t imagine waiting even two hours for this cookie dough to chill; well,maybe if I was eating up the kisses in the meantime! I’ve pinned your site to my Pinterest.com and you’re been “repinned” more than anything else.
Cor, just stunbled on your blog! What a great idea! Am definately going to have a go at making these – they may turn out a little different as not sure we get Kisses over here in Blighty, but blimey – I’ll find something to melt! Zoe
Oh my word. Those look amazing!
Wow!! I will have to try this one…yum!! 🙂
Wow, don’t those look delicious!! One yummy thing inside another, sounds like a good idea to me! =)
It’s a pleasure to find somneoe who can identify the issues so clearly
Oh wow! They look delicious 🙂 I love the idea!
Oh yum Jenny! I love how you always incorporate yummy candy and candy bars into your sweets! My girls would adore this! 🙂
In the words of my daughter… O – M – G.
These look absolutely sinful. In the best way possible.
My son saw this & just asked me if I’d make them…um, YES!! I’m not an out of the box thinker, so would’ve never thought about wrapping the dough around a hershey kiss or a rolo or all those minuature candies they now have! The possibilities are endless! LOVE this!!
Holy COW! That is one big Kiss! Its only fitting it belong in a cookie!
Wow, that is a lot of chocolate!
yum! When i saw you post about this on Facebook this weekend, I knew it was gonna be fabulous 🙂
Oh my gosh. Staring at all the ooey, gooey chocolate has undone everything I just did at the gym.
That chocolate oozing out is mesmerizing. Amazing idea!
Aaand I’ve short circuited my keyboard with drool.
Dream. Come. True! Thanks for sharing!
OMG that is some goooey goooey goodness! YUMMY!
I can eat this all by myself 😀
I was waiting for it’s recipe ever since you posted the picture on fb… Thank you so much, you made my day 🙂
wow…the cookies definitely look like a bit of heaven 😀
Cookies with melted chocolate centers are the best. But the Hersheys drops are too sweet to me, especially since you add almost a cup of brown sugar to the dough! I’d use a bitter dark chocolate inside for a nice contrast. It’s just me 🙂
I love that you put that Hershey kiss next to a lego man! Haha! {And this is off the charts amazing.}
This reminds me of Valentine’s Day in middle school when I bought my “boyfriend” a huge Hershey kiss. Because really, what else do 13 year old’s buy each other on Valentine’s Day?!
Sounds and looks great! Reminds me of some cookies my mom used to make years ago. It was an almond flavored cookie dough with a hershey kiss hidden in the middle. Yum!
Oh wow. Wow. What else is there to say?
What a beautiful cookie! Thanks for the perspective with the lego, I was picture it being much larger.
Perfection on a plate. I love it! And, I am totally going to try this. My littles will squeal with delight.
Whoa! These look insanely yummy! Mmmm….chocolate.
WOW! These look insanely good. Great job making yet another drool-worthy stuffed cookie.
Oh mercy! That looks so amazing, Jenny! Yum, Yum, Yum!
i wish there was a picture of my face when i saw that first photo because my eyes got THISBIG and i immediately started drooling 🙂
The oozey chocolate looks amazing! You know, they make giant peanut butter cups these days… just saying… 😉
Wow! These look delicious! I posted a similar thing myself a few days ago and they were DELICIOUS!
I was excited to see this one… molten chocolate chip cookies-> love!
When I saw these on Instagram, I about died and went to ooey gooey chocolate oozing heaven. They look…amazing!
I love the fact that you used a little lego man to give us an idea of perspective – you’re hilarious! I can’t get over that first picture of the cookies though and the way the chocolate oozes out…
