Brooke, I would try shortening the baking time next time perhaps. I realized recently that my oven’s temperature hasn’t been quite as accurate as I thought, so that could have contributed to the different texture I got! Not sure about tinfoil…

We made these this week. Yum! Mine turned out crispy too, so maybe next time I will shorten the baking time. I also cooled them on a cookie rack. Would cooling on tin foil help contain some of that moisture? I do that with other cookies that I bake. Any suggestions?

I just made these and they are awesome. I had to use light brown sugar and regular kisses. My raw dough balls may have been closer to 2 inches, but they came out really soft and chewy on the inside. They are to put in tins for the Sunday School teachers. I hope the chocolate kisses set back to stack without squishing.

I am really excited to bake these, but I am also wondering if they freeze well.

These look really awesome — I am going to make them this weekend! I love those peppermint kisses. I would love to try something with the candy corn kisses at Halloween. Those are so addicting.
