Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup granulated sugar for rolling
- 20-24 Hershey's chocolate kisses unwrapped and chilled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unwrap your chocolate kisses and place them in the freezer to chill.
- In a large bowl, mix the butter (softened) and brown sugar. Then, add the egg and vanilla and mix until creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Chill your dough for 20-30 minutes or until it's easier to scoop out and roll into a ball.
- Roll into 1-inch balls, then dip into the granulated sugar to coat.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges look set and slightly cracked.
- After removing them from the oven, gently press the chocolate kiss in the middle of the cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet until the Hershey kisses are set, and enjoy!
Notes
Variations:
- Switch up the Hershey Kisses for different flavor blossom cookies.
- Add Reese's trees and holiday sprinkles for a festive treat.
- Substitute the white granulated sugar for powdered sugar so it looks like a crinkle cookie.
Helpful Tips:
- The dough is sticky, so you will have to chill it in the fridge, or you can put it in the freezer if you are short on time.
- Make sure to freeze the Hershey kisses so they don't melt on the warm cookie.
- Don't overbake, as you want the cookies to be slightly cracked on top so you can easily press the chocolate kiss on top. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Let them cool completely on a baking sheet for a few minutes so the Hershey kisses can harden.
Storage
- Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days.
