Notes
For the best results, ensure the butter is thoroughly softened before creaming with sugar, as this will help achieve a smooth, creamy texture. Additionally, avoid overbaking the cookies by removing them from the oven when they are just set—this will maintain their soft, chewy center. If you prefer a less sweet cookie, consider using dark chocolate kisses instead of the traditional milk chocolate type.
