I made these for friends and teachers for Christmas presents. You will get the best results if you use butter. Margarine will cause the cookie to flatten in the oven. I used half vanilla and half almond extract. Everyone loved them and several asked for the recipe. My kids asked me to leave out the cocoa and use only vanilla extract for a change, they were also very good! Some people might find the almond extract too strong.

I made these for a dinner party and was so pround of the work I put into them. Even though the sugar cookie mix was easy, it wasn't easy to wrap 60 kisses. Unfortunately, no one ate them. For whatever reason, they weren't appealing to the guests. I used powdered sugar on some and left others plain and alternated them on the serving tray. Ironically, one other guest made the "Christmas snickerdoodles" and people ate them up. My husband and kids loved them...
