07 - Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
08 - Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft.

10 - Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- They are buttery soft cookies with a melty chocolate center that feels like a little hug
- The sprinkles make them impossible to resist and perfect for sharing
02 -
- Do not skip rolling the dough in sprinkles before baking because they will not stick after the cookies are baked
- Press the chocolate kisses in gently but firmly so they sink into the cookie without cracking the edges
03 -
- Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking so every cookie browns evenly
- Work quickly when pressing in the chocolate kisses because they start melting fast in warm cookies
