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.

Yet another Nutella recipe for World Nutella Day. Hey, you need something for breakfast, lunch dessert, and supper dessert, right? The kisses in these cookies are completely optional, but add a nice little extra chocolate touch. If you prefer, make an indent in the center of each cookie with the back of a spoon and fill with Nutella either before or after baking. Sprinkle with chopped, toasted hazelnuts, or roll the cookies is chopped hazelnuts before baking. These are rich and chocolaty, and definitely taste of Nutella.

Here are some excellent Christmas cookies. They all start with a classic milk chocolate Hershey's kiss. This gets encased with a decadent chocolate chip cookie dough and baked. Then, a final drizzle of melted chocolate and these cookies - a chocolate lover's dream - are ready to be devoured. Actually, I usually skip this final step, it really isn't necessary, the cookies are still divine without it. Usually the cookies aren't around long enough to withstand a chocolate drizzle anyway. It is fun to see peoples' faces light up when the bite into a cookie, thinking it is just a regular chocolate chip, and then they discover the surprise Hershey's kiss inside! My mother made this delicious batch of cookies, yum!
