# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The buttery dough practically melts in your mouth while the chocolate center stays perfectly soft
  • They come together in under 30 minutes but look like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen
02 -
  • The cookies will look underbaked when you pull them out, but that's exactly when you need to add the chocolate
  • Work quickly when pressing the kisses in, or they won't settle properly into the soft dough
03 -
  • If your dough is too soft to roll, chill it for 15-20 minutes before shaping
  • Press the chocolate kisses in gently but firmly, using a slight twisting motion
