My two favorite candy holidays are Halloween and Easter. There's just some awesome candy that shows up during those two times of the year. I love all the new Hershey Kiss flavors that are coming out. When I saw Pumpkin Spice Kisses I immediately grabbed two bags knowing that I would bake something with them. Then I remembered seeing this recipe for Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Kiss Cookies on Barbara Bakes last year.
I did these cookies a little different than from Barbara. I roughly chopped the kisses and then added them to the cookie dough. While I think they tasted really good and added a nice pop of orange color to the cookie, I think next time I bake them I will do it Barbara's way, by stuffing each cookie with a kiss so that you have a nice, sweet, spicy surprise.

Using a medium sized cookie scoop, place dough 2 inches apart on Silpat or parchment paper lined cookie sheets.

I made about 2 dozen cookies.
