Sugar cookies have always been one of my favorite cookies, and with dark chocolate Kisses on top, they are even better.

The kids are coming home for Christmas, and I could not visualize not having some kind of Christmas cookies on hand. This Simple Sugar Cookies recipe is an almost cannot fail type of recipe. It is quick and simple to put together, and the cookies come out perfectly every time. If you are using the Kisses, or Chocolate Stars, be sure to get them into the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven. Allow plenty of time for the cookies to cool because the chocolate will soften up a little bit from the heat of the cookie.

If you’re making cookies for the Holidays, add these Simple Sugar Cookies with Kisses to your collection. It won’t take much time, and they are delicious. Enjoy
