I finally broke in my tiny oven in my tiny apartment in Toronto! With very limited supplies I was able to whip up these cookies which are a nice alternative to a peanut butter blossom with the yummy Hershey kiss. I used the kisses that have caramel in the middle which gave them a little something extra.

I used this recipe since it has no baking powder, baking soda or peanut butter all of which I did not have on hand.

A half batch was also plenty of cookies in my opinion. About 20 cookies.

Without a mixer or a real thermostat on my oven I feel good about the inaugural batch of cookies! Enjoy!

Oatmeal Kisses
Wonderful oatmeal cookie with just a hint of cinnamon. The Hershey’s Kisses
in the center of each cookie make these cookies spectacular. A chocolate
lover’s delight!
