By cjbrose50

Almond Cookie with a Hershey Hug in the middle. VERY VERY GOOD
Use Almond PASTE rather than Almond Butter.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Softened butter
• 1/2 cup Almond butter ( I use Almond paste - MUCH BETTER)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 t baking soda
• 1/4 t salt
• 1/2 t cream of tar tar
• 1/2 t vanilla or almond extract ( can even use coconut)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 t milk
• 2 cups flower
• ( OR 1 cup wheat flour, 1 cup white flower - I have never used the wheat flower)
• 3 T white sugar
• 1 Pk chocolate hug kisses

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven 350
unwrap entire bag of kisses

Beat together: Almond paste, and butter. Add white and brown sugar, baking soda, cream of tar tar, and salt. Beat until combined. Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla.
Beat as much flower as you can. Mix the remaining by hand if needed.

Put 3T of sugar in a bowl.
Form balls about 1" big. Roll each ball in sugar. I put 5-7 balls in a bowl and swish them around. They don't have to be totally covered.

Place on cookie sheet 2" apart. I use parchment paper
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until very lightly brown.
Immediately out of oven, put a hershey hug in the middle of each one.

These will take quite a while to set. I balance them on each other to cool.

These are SOOOOO GOOD
