Oatmeal Cookies Stuffed with Kisses

Oatmeal Cookies Stuffed with Kisses

\
These are the best oatmeal cookies. They're thick and soft and full of flavor... and a kiss. If you're not a fan of kisses then feel free to leave them out and just add extra chocolate chips. 

We used pumpkin kisses that were left over from the winter season, we needed some way to get rid of them and since Im in a stuffed cookie craze this was it. 



We made two batches. The first came out a little flat, so i modified the recipe and got the nice chewy fluffy cookie I was looking for. 


Heres the comparison between the before and after modifying cookie. 


Can you tell the difference? I definitely could. The flatter ones are more crisp as compared to the chewiness of the ones on the left. 


 Heres how the flatter ones came out with the kiss inside. They were still super tasty, especially if you like a crunchy cookie.

Since we wanted to change it up, some of the cookies got a chocolate egg put inside them and some got a dark chocolate kiss. 


These are super easy to make too. Oatmeal cookies are typically drop cookies. First you prepare the batter then just grab a scoop and put a kiss inside.


Then you're all set and ready to bake! Just prepare your pan and plop down the dough. 


Put it in the oven for 12 min. and... 


Deliciousness awaits you.

Recipe: 

1 C flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 C light brown sugar
1/2 C granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 C old-fashioned rolled oats 
1 C chocolate chips
1 bag of pumpkin Kisses (If not in season can use normal kisses, carmel filled would be delicious)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350
1. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cornstarch, and spices together
2. In a separate bowl cream the butter and the sugars. 
3. Once mixed add the egg and the vanilla
4. Mix the dry ingredients in with the wet
5. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips

Take a scoop of cookie dough and push a kiss inside, seal it up, and place it on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 12 min. They should appear undone but they will continue to cook while cooling.
