#1,736: Hershey kiss chocolate chip cookies

I pinned this recipe two years ago, and figured it was time to remove it from my Pinterest boards!  We had some leftover Hershey Kisses from a New Years Eve activity we did with the kids, so it was a great recipe to use them up on.  I made the cookie dough the day before and just left it in the fridge until the kids and I were ready to make the cookies.  That was a mistake.  I couldn't roll out the dough!  So I had to let it sit out again for a couple of hours so we could actually make these.  Lesson learned.  The kids helped me make these, but I had to flatten out some dough for them to use/wrap around the kiss.  We really enjoyed these and it was such a simple recipe.  It would be even easier if you use the pre-made cookie dough too.  AND it would be good with different flavors of Hershey's Kisses.
