                This comment comes 2 years after the originals...but the 2 T vanilla MUST be a typo.  Use a generous teaspoonful and forgeddaboudid. :-)

                I made these following the recipe exactly, and they turned out rich and delicious!  You really can't go wrong with chocolate and raspberries.  Very easy to make, but very impressive-looking.

                I made these for Christmas but decided to skip the chocolate part. I REALLY messed up the basic sugar cookie dough.. misread the amount of flour. When I cooked them they completely flattened. So I improvised... took each cookie and spread some raspberry Jam, then put another cookie on top to create a "sandwich cookie" YUM! 
                I can't  count how many compliments I received! I will make these again but stick with my mistakes!

                I had some trouble with 2 TBS of vanilla in the basic dough because the dough became bitter with only 1 TBS. So, I added 1 tsp nutmeg and a dash of cinnamon. It tasted much better. Then I kneaded in 3 TBS powdered baking cocoa. After getting the dough just right, I tried 4 options: drop cookies with chocolate chips, and chocolate chips with pecans, also thumbprints with pecans, blackberry jam, and with apricot jam. They were all wonderful! Any ideas about the bitterness?

                You have to bake the cookie 1st, then let it cool slightly. Add the hersey kiss to the center
