Hershey's Kisses Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies!

Bettee Crocker's Note:

These cookies are so good and go away so fast! I make them for my friends all the time and they absolutely love them! The peanut butter Hershey kiss hidden inside the cookie is the best. They are probably my favorite cookies to make! :)

These were awesome! Big hit with everyone I shared them with! I made some with a kiss in the middle and some with the kiss on the top in the middle of the cookie. Both ways were great!
