Hugs and Kisses Cookies

These cookies look so good and they taste even better.  You'll get lots of compliments when you share these.  And they are super easy.
 
1/3 cup butter or margarine

6 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1 package (1 lb 1.5 oz) Sugar cookie mix

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

60 Hugs candies, unwrapped (The white ones look best, but use whatever flavor you like.)

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.  Mix the butter and chocolate. 

Melt until smooth, but not too hot.  Stir often.  Take off the heat as soon as it's melted enough to stir the butter and chocolate together.

Stir sweetened condensed milk into chocolate mixture.  Add the cookie mix and cinnamon and mix well.

Using 1 level tablespoonful of dough for each cookie, shape into 60 balls. (I use my small ice cream scoop.) Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.   

Bake 6 to 7 minutes or until edges lose their shiny look (do not over bake). 

Remove from oven and immediately press 1 candy into the center of each cookie.  Cool cookies on cookie sheet for 3 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.  

 

Try these.  You'll love them.
