Each year at Christmastime, I search for a new cookie recipe to add to my collection. In 2019, I came across this one, which everyone raved about. The hot cocoa kisses are only sold at Christmas time, so be on the lookout for them in November as they quickly disappear off the grocer’s shelves.

She would leave the almonds whole and strategically place them into the cream cheese in layers, to resemble pine cones. Then she would […]
