Great modified too!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Following other reviews, I used peanut butter instead of butter and then accidentally pressed an almond in the middle instead... of a chocolate kiss- I was reading too many cookie recipes at the same time! The mistake was a surprising hit, adding additional crunchiness without too much sweetness as you might get if you followed the recipe and used a chocolate kiss. Also, was more popular than the recipes that I spent 3 times the amount of time! Will definitely use again.Read more

great recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe with my daughter and her friend. After reading all the reviews we decided to substitute peanut butter for... the butter. We also added a little extra almond extract. The cookies were a big hit in the neighborhood, and they were not at all greasy with the peanut butter.Read more

Fun & Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make these cookies every year and the recipe makes quite a few for giving and sharing. This year I used peanut butter... instead of butter, roll them in graham crakers or chopped peanuts...yum. Also I tried the recipe with cream cheese flavored frosting, added vanilla and cream cheese instead of butter, the need to be refrigerated for 20 min before shaping and rolling, I put them in mini candy papers, my friends and family could not get enough of them(and the recipe makes alot)Read more

Great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I changed this recipe a little to suit my taste, but used the basic idea. I replaced the almond extract with peppermint... extract, rolled the cookies in confectioners' sugar, and topped with mint flavored chocolate kisses. They were great!Read more
