Adding the Hershey Kiss while the cookies are still warm is an extra tip you may want to try. The warm cookies will soften the chocolate and turn them into more of a “thumbprint” type cookie. Personally, I am a huge fan of warm, soft chocolate, but I understand not everyone is. You do you when it comes to this recipe!
