Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 36 Hershey's Kisses milk chocolate candies
  • assorted sprinkles for a festive look

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry ingredient mixture aside.
  3. To a separate large bowl add the butter and both types of sugar. Use an electric mixer with a paddle attachment to beat the butter with sugar on medium speed for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Mix in the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk until everything is well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and continue to beat until the dough is fully mixed.
  6. Using a small (1 tablespoon) cookie scoop, portion the dough and shape it into balls. For a festive look (but this is optional), roll the balls in sprinkles.
  7. Place these dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed up, and the edges are set.
  9. After removing the cookies from the oven, gently press one Hershey's Kiss onto the center of each cookie.
  10. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely. During this time, the candies will look like they're melting but don't disturb them. They will resolidify into the correct shape.
  11. Enjoy your super festive Hershey Kiss cookies!

Notes

  • Make sure to place Hershey's kisses on the cookies while they are still warm to give them the right shape.
