This is a shortbread-type cookie filled with toffee bits and pecans then topped with a Kiss! Or stuffed with a Kiss! This cookie is so good. My favorite cookie creation this year. It is a spin-off of one of Paula Deen's recipes. I show three ways in my photo to use the Kiss - on top of the cookie, upside down on the cookie and stuffed inside the cookie.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These toffee chocolate kiss cookies are a delicious combination of sweet and salty. The shortbread cookie is filled with toffee bits and pecans. When warm, it's topped with a chocolate candy kiss that softens a bit. You get a buttery and nutty cookie crunch and a soft and creamy chocolate candy in each bite. Delish!

    butter, softened
  • 1 c
    granulated sugar (scant cup)

How To Make toffee chocolate kiss

  • Cream the butter.
    1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line pans with parchment paper or lightly spray pans (otherwise the toffee will stick). In a large bowl, beat butter at medium speed until creamy.
  • Add sugar and mix well.
    2
    Add sugar and beat well.
  • Add vanilla extract and mix well.
    3
    Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
    4
    In a medium bowl, sift or whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add flour to the creamed mixture.
    5
    Gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well until it 'starts' to come together.
  • Add in toffee bits and pecans.
    6
    Then add toffee and pecans. The dough will be crumbly.
  • Shape dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
    7
    Shape the dough into 1 - 1 1/2" balls. Squeeze the dough together and then roll it into a ball. If it breaks apart, squeeze it together again and roll. Place onto the prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake the cookies until just browned around the edges.
    8
    Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until the cookie just starts to brown along the bottom edge.
  • Press a chocolate kiss onto the cookie.
    9
    Remove from the oven. Immediately press the chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks.

    If you want to stuff the kiss inside the cookie, shape the dough into 1 1/2" balls. Squeeze the dough together and then roll it into a ball. Push a kiss (tip first) into the ball. Use a little more dough to cover the bottom if needed. Gently roll again to make a nice ball shape. Place onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just starts to brown along the bottom edge. Cool on the pan for 2 minutes. Then remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks. A member also mentioned spreading the chocolate kiss on top of the cookie. To do this, I would place a chocolate kiss on top of the cookies when they come out of the oven and move them to a cooling rack. Wait about 10 minutes and then spread the chocolate over the cookie. Allow to cool for the chocolate to set up.
