Kiss Me Chocolate Cookies

Valentine's Day is coming up - so what better way to show your sweetheart you love them than triple chocolate cookies with a kiss in the middle? These are what my mother made to show her compassion around this time of year, though my father and I tried to convince her these cookies were awful, and she shouldn't share them but instead give them all to us. It didn't work. She saw past our fibbing faces and tasted the chocolaty goodness of these easy-to-make, delightful-to-taste cookies.
