• Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes (you don't have to, but dough is easier to work with when cold).

• Bake at 325 degrees for 14 minutes. Let cool on pan for 1-2 minutes.
• Add Hershey Kiss/Hug to center of the cookies. (Hugs melt especially fast, you may want to let the cookies cool a little longer before adding Hugs, but cookies should still be warm so chocolate can melt into the cookie).
