CAPPUCCINO BLOSSOMS
This recipe is from Southern Living and does not have eggs in it. I buy chocolate kisses when they go on sale after the holidays because once you unwrap them no one can tell if they came in holiday colors. You can substitute dry roasted peanuts or toasted, slivered almonds for the chopped almonds.

For this super-easy garnish, press a striped chocolate kiss into each baked cookie while it's still warm. After the chocolate softens, you can swirl it with a knife.
