They didn't come out the way I expected them to. They were good, but not excellent in my book. If I make these again, I'll stick them in for the full 9 minutes instead of popping them out at 7

These cookies were absolutely phenominal!!! Easy to make, extremely moist---yet not the kind of cookie that falls apart either. I used the cherry cordial "kisses" on top! Great idea for Sweethearts Day coming up!!! Will definitely make these again!

We used the strawberry and cream kisses and they were outstanding. Also, made them without candy kisses at all even more delicious. Highly recommend these cookies. Easy, quick and worth the time.

It's great. I am a working mom & I taught 5 kids who are below 5 to made it. They all enjoy & finish the cookies up within short time. Suggestion : 1. Use less sugar & butter, add a little bit more egg, flour & almond extract - more healthy. 2. Just coat Almond on top, no need to roll. Mom from Hong Kong

These cookies turned out great. It was so easy my daughters were able to roll the balls into the almonds. They were very fluffy and soft.

FABULOUS! Make the cookie small, they really expand when baking. Only need to coat top with nuts, no need to roll. Conserve nuts- only need 1/2, make the recipe more economical. Then triple the recipe to use the whole bag of kisses. AWESOME.

The cookies were excellent and I am glad that I doubled the recipe when I made them otherwise they would be all gone for sure. As it is I have limited my kids to them and with 3 teenagers you can imagine how fast they would have gone otherwise. I have also made enough for my future stepchildren and am sure they will be just as impressed as my kids. Thanks for another good recipe to add to my collection.
