These Lemon Kiss Cookies don’t have any egg in them. Because of that, they’re very much like a shortbread type cookie that does not spread out when it bakes. That makes it the perfect cookie dough to wrap around a milk chocolate Hershey’s Kiss. You’ll give the dough some time to chill and firm up. Then it will be very pliable to flatten and mold around the kisses.
What does the pairing of lemon and chocolate taste like?
It might sound a little strange to combine lemon and chocolate. There are almonds in the dough too, so there’s another flavor to add to the bunch. The flavors in these Lemon Kiss Cookies are surprisingly delicious. And I only say that because it’s not very typical to combine lemon and chocolate. Remember those fruit creme filled chocolates from See’s Candy? That’s what these cookies remind me of. Picture lemon cream filled chocolate candies. Yum! It’s definitely a cookie recipe worth trying. I think it would be a pretty one for the holidays too. If you sprinkled yellow nonpareils on top of the cookies after you drizzle the chocolate on, that would give everyone a little hint at the lemon flavor of these cookies.
