This cookie is another one from my childhood. I remember having to help unwrap the chocolates or mix batter. I actually prefer the cookies without the chocolate on top, but what’s nice is that you can use different options that are more suited to your taste, white chocolate, peanut butter cups, or even dark chocolate kisses. Make them your way and enjoy them however you like.
