Surprise cookies

Hershey's Secret Kiss Cookies combine a wonderful cookie dough, with a little chocolate surprise in the center, that just melts in your mouth.

Tempt me with any chocolate and peanut butter dessert and I'll most likely give in. Who can resist such a winning combination? If you are also on the chocolate peanut butter bandwagon, try biting into a soft chocolate cookie and being surprised with a peanut butter filling! Ooh-la-la! I made these for our friends' son...

These fun sprinkle-filled cookies are a sweet surprise for Valentine's Day. Pinata cookies for Valentine's Day. #pinatacookies #valentinesday #cookierecipes

If you love peppermint, you are going to die for these Mint Surprise Cookies.

"With four daughters, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild, I've baked lots of cookies," notes Lavon Timken of Cimmaron, Kansas. "This recipe is one of my favorites."

Try this recipe for sugar cookies filled with mint-chocolate candy and topped with a walnut.

Secret Kiss Cookies, one of my favorite recipes! A shortbread cookie with a hidden Hershey's Kiss inside and they are egg-free. Also, so easy to make.

I have been seeing "surprise inside cookies" for a few years and really wanted to come up with my own version. After a little brainstorming, I came up with the idea of making Santa's belly cookies and filling them with miniature cookies. These are so much fun to give as gifts—just wrap in colored cellophane and tie with a festive ribbon. You can exchange the mini cookies for candy or anything you'd like; if desired, you can color the cookie dough red, too. —Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn…
