I like to think about the previous year before its end. I never make major decisions, but just purely turn back a little to see where I am….
For me, 2015 was better than 2014.  By no means perfect, but better…
And that’s the most important thing. This blog, thanks to the hard work and all of you, has exceeded all of my expectations. I’ve learned a lot of things in all fields. I’ve met some new people, and finally found a team which I feel so good and natural with.

For 2016 I have only one particular wish. It is linked to a job and I won’t say it out loud, I’ll just firmly cross my fingers.  The other wishes are regular,  standard,  the same ones that you want for yourself and your family. I really hope that they’ll come true for everyone!

Let’s end up the old year with something sweet.  This Hershey’s Secret Kisses Cookies recipe is a nice and simple Christmas or Valentines Day treat. A perfect fit with Snow Drop Cookies and Italian Christmas Cookies in a mini collection of Christmas cookies on this blog.
I hope you’ll like it!

    I have some pumpkin Hershey kisses that I would love to wrap some dough around. How could I adapt your recipe for a ginger wrap cookie?
    Thank you

      Chill the dough longer, put in the fridge between backings. Sound like your butter warmed up too much! I bake these all the time, my son’s favorite cookies!
